This week fifth graders started reading books by author Kate Klise to prepare for her visit this October. Fourth graders worked in teams to see what shape column held the most books and third graders explored the nonfiction section. Students of all ages were excited to read new additions to our library. Thanks to all of the hard work by our awesome PTO we were able to order over 60 new books for our library from Scholastic using Book Fair profit. The new books are already flying off the shelves!

Welcome back Quail Run Readers! We are looking forward to a wonderful new school year. Check back during the year to see the latest from the Quail Run Library.
It was a busy day for our Quail Run Readers! Chomper, our book return monster, was overflowing with returns today.
Today in the library fifth graders worked on a Boston Tea Party STEM Challenge. Students made a crate that would keep a tea bag dry in a tub of water given only limited amounts of sticks, yarn, tape and wax paper. Teams were creative in their approach to the challenge! Third graders celebrated Valentine's Day in the library doing something they love- coding! Working in partners they used the Lightbot app. It took lots of teamwork and grit but they persevered!
Thanks to the generosity of the Lawrence Public Library all of our fourth and fifth grade students received copies of this year's Read Across Lawrence for Kids book Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer. Be sure to check out all of the amazing events LPL will have this month in for Read Across Lawrence
During their last two library lessons fifth graders created a board game based on a picture book for their second grade book buddies. Not only did they have fun, they had a chance to work on their technical writing skills as well! They look forward to playing the games during their next book buddy meeting.
Inspired by Andrea Beaty's book Iggy Peck Architect second graders used our new Keva planks to build their own creations.
Today the kindergarteners were treated to a special Breakout EDU activity in honor of the 100th Day of School. A special thanks to Mrs Heinritz for planning and teaching this exciting activity!
