Logging Into Your Library Account

Here is a video tutorial that shows you how to log in and check your library account using your school Google account:

This video shows you how to log in with a username and password. It also shows you how to reserve library books for curbside pick up (check with your parents first to see if they are okay with this):

Remote Learning Resources

Hi Wildcat Families -

I'm going to miss seeing all our WCS readers during the school closure! I know that your teachers have shared work and resources with you. But here are a few more to keep you reading, listening, and learning!

1.) Online books. Spend some time on Tumblebooks or explore the links under the Reading Resources tab of this website (Storyline Online is a favorite of mine!)

2.) Hang out with some cool authors and illustrators. Many authors are reading to children online, giving drawing lessons, and writing workshops. CLICK HERE for more information.

3.) Ebooks & audiobooks from Patten Free Library. If you have a library card and a device, you can check out ebooks and audiobooks from PFL. CLICK HERE for more information.

4.) Podcasts. I have a confession to make - I don't listen to podcasts. I'm definitely an audiobook girl. But I'm going to challenge myself during this time at home to try out some different podcasts. I'll be getting ideas from this list: 25 Best Podcasts for Kids on Commonsense Media 

Lastly, I'm always just an email away! Please reach out if you have any reading or research needs.
Happy reading,
Ms. Luchies

Libba and Primary vs. Secondary Sources

Today we are reading Libba by Laura Viers and then watching this brief video clip of Elizabeth Cotten performing her famous song "Freight Train". Our learning targets for today's lesson are: 

• I can define the terms "primary source" and "secondary source."
