What are we learning?
Digital and information literacy skills are taught in grades PK-5. Students learn the basic skills of library organization and strategies for managing the vast amounts of information found online with an emphasis on personal safety and responsibility. This year all our classrooms are "Live" on Zoom at regular times each week. Our focus remains on learning to manage large amounts of electronic information and to use lots of new and exciting digital tools.
