Important Library Information

Teachers,

We have been working hard all year to prepare the library for the upcoming split, and keep the library open as long as possible. That being said, the library will be closing about two weeks early this year so the books can be stickered, scanned, and placed into boxes. This is a huge undertaking and will be time consuming- we have over 18,000 items to pack in 23 days! Here are the library closing dates for PP and PI libraries for this year only:

Last day for student checkout: April 8th
All student books due: April 15th    
Last day for teacher checkout: April 15th
All teacher books due: April 22nd

Be thinking about the resources you will need for your last few units of the year. As the library books will be unavailable for the last month and a half of school, it might be a good idea to plan to get resources from the public library or draw from your classroom library. I appreciate your understanding in this matter. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything.

Resources can be secured through the Trussville Public Library:
Phone #: 655-2022

Science in Motion

Third grade students in Mrs. Moore's class have been studying how fossils provide evidence of organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago. The students are loving being paleontologist and  finding the fossils buried deep down. Some are finding shells, shark looking teeth, and several other mysterious things. They discussed that these fossils mostly likely indicate an ocean habitat of long ago.
