3rd Grade Book Selection Project
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:
