Dear Parents,
My intention this year is to continue the student-oriented library program already in place at JLS. It is a flexible program that teaches library skills, encourages reading, and enhances and enlarges upon classroom learning.
All the library programs offered are built on the assumption that library skills must be taught in conjunction with assignments which the teacher considers necessary to the learning going on in the classroom . . . and that reading for pleasure must take into account the students' interests and abilities.
Therefore, of the various programs listed some are now in operation and others are only suggestions of what might be. I am constantly trying to adapt these programs or to create new ones to fit the specific needs of the various classes.
Although sixth grade, English and social studies classes visit the library most frequently, math, science, career/vocational education, drama and other classes have also come to the library for special projects.
I encourage you to visit the library. Call and arrange a time or just drop by next time you are on campus during school hours.
Claudia Davis, Librarian
