What’s going on in the library this week?

The CMS library has recovered from a very busy Book Fair last week. Our 5^th graders were excited to attend their first book fair at the middle school, while the 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th graders were eager to see what treasures awaited them this year!

Some of our bestsellers were: 

                           

We’d like to thank all students, staff, and families who supported the CMS library through the book fair. With the money we have earned, we will be able to beef up our own collection with new resources!

If your CMS student was not able to get books at this book fair, don’t panic! We will be holding another book fair from March 9^th-12^th.

In other news, this week the 5^th grade has come to the library to begin a new adventure! The students have learned all about how to use the Cornell Note Taking system to take effective notes about a European explorer. They will be using both print and digital sources to complete their research.

Take a look at the video below that we used to introduce the 5^th graders to the Cornell Note Taking System!

The Cornell Note Taking System is used by many classes in our school community. This system helps students to engage meaningfully with resources and remember material better. Ask your student about this system at home!
