The Newport Elementary Schools Library Showcase

This blog is set up specifically to showcase some of the great work that our students have accomplished in library.

Your library media centers teach 21st century informational literacy skills - finding, evaluating, organizing, synthesizing information, and sharing this knowledge with others. We have also made terrific use of technology to showcase what we've learned.

Because knowledge is constantly changing, it is now vital that all students acquire the necessary skills that enable them to become lifelong learners. We call this the fourth "R" - Reading, 'Riting, 'Rithmetic, and RESEARCH!"

Your Library Media Specialists also support teachers and the curriculum, and we hope this showcase will demonstrate how working collaboratively enables our students to do some amazing things!

As part of our rocks & minerals science unit, our students researched their birthstones using the Big6 Information Literacy steps, and then put together their research into powerpoint slides. All the students worked really hard, and below is a sample of some of their wonderful projects.
