Kindergarten students benefit greatly from reading with an adult on a daily basis. Reading with young children each evening allows time to reinforce basic reading skills and strategies, as well as fosters a love of reading in the child.

Kindergarten students can bring home a book appropriate for an emergent reader each evening by returning his/her book and bag to the classroom teacher each morning. The bags will be sent to the library media center and a new emergent level book will be checked out to the child, placed in the Book Bag and sent home. Each day that a student returns his/her book and bag to school, a new emergent level book will be sent home. On days that students have library for special area, they will be choosing their own books to checkout. The book bag program runs from August - December. After that, K students will self-select two books at a time during library class or open checkout.

Students will know Ms. Judy Adamson from the library and the lunchroom.  Ms. Judy is a valuable resource for our students in the library as she facilitates open checkout times, keeps circulation running smoothly, assists students with locating items on the shelves, maintains iPads, and provides students with AR support.
