RSS Feed. Alumni School Store Awards Ceremonies. Their selection is Bloom by Kenneth Oppel. We will have our on-line discussion on Tuesday 26 May, time to be determined. Every week, two new titles are available and can be downloaded using the Sora app student version of Overdrive. Grades 10 and up can use their laptops or can put the app on their phones. Both are great reads! Note that you are NOT able to go back and download books from previous weeks that you might have missed.
This program runs through July 29th. The line-up of books is excellent! Please remember that we ARE circulating books weekly. Please fill out this Google Form by Wednesday each week and collect your books on Friday. You may specify on the form if you'd like multiple books of the same genre. You may also leave books with our guard post at the secondary entrance. We are so happy to see how many families are taking advantage of this service!
Note that ALL books are left in quarantine for 72 hours, then cleaned before going back out. If you are looking for other distance learning resources in the form of book recs, audio books, podcasts, writing with authors, drawing with authors, and more, don't forget that we update the BookLove Libguide regularly password is the same as for parent portal- just ask your son or daughter for it if you need it! And, as always, let us know if you have other ideas for how we can support your family during this time!
Stay safe, stay well, and keep reading! Digital Citizenship - now more important than ever. Photo by Emma Matthews Digital Content Production on Unsplash Through parent coffee mornings, we have regularly shared information and resources about social media and balanced use and how parents can support from home, all of which can be found here on the Parent LibGuide.
Now, more than ever, we are all aware of the importance of being a good digital citizen. With increased screentime at home, challenges related to balance and appropriate use are more prevalent. Keep in mind that students will be in this space for many hours each day. Regularly check in on their progress and their focus.
