Library Time

The students are becoming more and more familiar with the SJA library. Ms. Batt is always so helpful and patient with the kindergartners. She helps them by guiding their choices when finding books. I always encourage the students to get one book to test on for AR and one fun book.

Here are some pictures of students choosing books to check out. They may take some time to look through the books to ensure they are choosing the right ones! The students on the bean bag chairs on in the "Reading Forest" which is located towards the back of the library.

The kindergartners took their very first AR test on Wednesday for this school year. They are tested on their comprehension of the story. There are 5 straight forward questions for each story in the kindergarten reading level. There are many, many books to choose from that have a test, but not all books have a corresponding test for Accelerated Reader. If you are unsure if your child brought home a book that has a test, you can check at http://www.arbookfind.com/UserType.aspx
