for the event too. Library materials can be
borrowed for two weeks and can be renewed.
Materials not brought back on time will be fined .25 each day. The library is open during regular school
hours. Students may come to the
library during RLC if they have a signature prior to RLC from Ms. Bryan or
Mrs. Gusta. Students can earn service learning hours or work off library fines for helping in
the library after school shelving books, dusting etc. Talk to Ms. Bryan or Mrs. Gusta about this opportunity! There is a 7th
grade reading list compiled by Ms. Bryan & Mr. Konrardy
for students to use. Movies With Morals – mini-course A – we will watch a movie and discuss in small and
whole groups. Snacks allowed – no soda
– students will leave room spotless and return chairs to tables. Crocheting
– mini-course B - students will learn the process to crochet with plastic
bags! Students that know how to
crochet will need a large crochet hook to crochet the plastic. Other students will need a sharp pair of
scissors. We will learn how to prepare
the plastic bags so they can be crocheted.
Any color plastic bag will work.
I will have a sample for students to look at and several patterns to
work from. Please send your extra
plastic bags to school for us to use! Scholastic has a great site
