RES Library Media Center News

 Third graders in Ms Girouard & Ms Ayer's classes took on a leadership role in the library this fall.  After looking at data about reading habits, students met with Mr. Winner from Gumdrop books to see what books the library might be able to buy for our library.   Students looked at survey results on what RES kids like to read, circulation data of the most popular check outs from the library, and Ms Wood's designated "holes" in the library collection.  Students identified the books that would fit the criteria they created for this selection project.  As a class, they worked together to create an order list that fit their budget.   It took some thought and negotiating, but between both classes, students ordered 94 new books for the library.  They are getting processed right now and will arrive in January for all RES kids to enjoy!  We can't wait to share these great books with our reading community!! Examples of some books selected:

 RES students have voted for their favorite Red Clover and Golden Dome books.  Although the state winner has yet to be announced, I can tell you which books won in our school.  I've also broken the votes down by grade level.  I always find it interesting to see what book each grade gravitates towards.   The RES Red Clover winner is Bobcat Prowling! Here are the vote totals for the whole school: Kindergarten totals: 1st grade totals: 2nd grade totals: and 3rd grade totals: For the Golden Dome Award, students chose a wide variety of books as their favorite.  Here are the favorites of this year's 4th graders: I'll announce the state winners when I get that information! Stay tuned!
