Library Field Trips

I've always enjoyed taking students to the library! It's like a miniature field trip. And there is something about our 339/313 library that helps kids relax and calm down.

And I love to go to the library myself. In the library, I don't always feel like I have to monitor and stand guard. Instead, I can sit in a rocking chair and conference with students or read in peace.

When I was in grade school, I always loved going to the library and reading. Especially when other students or socializing in general was too much for me. I'd go to the library, sit in the same spot each time (in front of the "Graphic Novels" section) and read. I usually read the same books over and over again. My favorite was D'aulaire's "Book of Greek Myths" and any Garfield comic book. Oh, and I can't forget Calvin and Hobbes!

Thank you, Ms. Reiss, for creating and maintaining such a beautiful, peaceful library. Our students are very lucky to have such a calming library to escape to!
