End of Year Wrap-Up

Well, folks, that's about it for the 2015-2016 school year. It was my very first year here in North Andover, and I think we accomplished quite a bit. Across all five elementary schools, we:

• Reviewed what we already knew about libraries, and busted some "library myths"
• Went on a few scavenger hunts for information in our libraries
• Learned all about the parts of books (inside and out!)
• Sparked new knowledge of computers with the Hour of Code
• Discovered how to properly cite our sources and find quality information
• Explored the magical world of fairy tales
• Organized information with Google Docs & Slides
• Read and wrote amazing, incredible poetry
• Checked out Typing Club and other online resources

...and basically had the best time ever!

I'll be returning next year to North Andover (we're still looking for a few good library media specialists to join our team!) and I can't wait to expand on what we've already learned! In the meantime, I hope everyone has a safe and happy summer, and that everyone - that means you too, parents! - participates in Summer Reading! 

Summer @ The Stevens information, including information regarding
summer reading incentives, can be found here:
