Hello Greenwood Families!
It's hard to believe summer is here! In Library Media we've been having fun and working hard to finish up our research projects, get all of our books in, and learn about summer reading opportunities! Scroll down for info and pictures of our amazing Greenwood Gators!
I couldn't have asked for a better first year serving as your Library Media Specialist here at Greenwood. Thank you for all the support you provide our school and learners all year long.
I hope you all have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you in fall!

Learning in Library Media!
The the last few weeks we have been wrapping up our research projects. Please take a moment to check out your students projects when they bring them home. They've all worked so hard on them, and I am extremely proud of all their work!
Greenwood Gators of all ages experienced the full inquiry research process. First, they began by wondering about topics new to them. Next, they chose a topic to learn about. Then, they recorded what they already knew and wondered about their topic. After that, they used resources such as databases and trusted websites to obtain facts about their topic and took notes. Finally, they crafted either a voiceover, Jamboard, or brochure to share what they've learned.
Our kindergarten and first graders learned all about caring for a pet hermit crab. Make sure to scan the QR code to hear them share some facts through a voiceover. Our second graders chose an amazing animal to learn about and shared their learning through crafting a Jamboard. Third graders focused on endangered animals and also created a Jamboard to share their learning. And, our graduating fourth graders crafted some professional looking brochures to share what they learned about the US National Park they selected. I know you will be impressed!
