Our School Library has a parent resource center containing many items for all ages and grade levels. There are books on CD, books for parents on how to help your child on either a physical, emotional, social, or educational level, games, flashcards, Leapster games and even the Leapster consoles. If you would like a complete list of all items available for checkout please let me know and I can send one home with your student. You can mark the item(s) you would like and it will be sent home with your child. After two weeks you can either return the item to school by your child or notify Mrs. Bilski (our librarian) or myself and we can extend the due date.
