Gorillas in the Library!

Were you aware that our fifth grade students participate in Drama activities when they visit the library media center? We learn about and discuss Drama vocabulary as well as participate in games and other activities focusing on drama! Lately, we've been learning about Performance Elements and Improvisation. This week, Mrs. Wyatt's class filmed an improv piece about gorillas invading the library!

Fourth and fifth graders have been reviewing the Dewey Decimal System in the Library Media Center for the past two weeks. We use the DDS to organize nonfiction books in the library, making it much easier to find what we are looking for.

Here are two videos to help you get aquainted with the Dewey Decimal System! Enjoy!
