Library
The LeConte library serves all students. Students in grades K-3 attend the school library once a week. Children check out books to take home and to return the following week.
Classroom visits include a read-a-loud story time and book talks. Students in grades 4-5 attend the library weekly or bi-weekly and for extended periods when requested by their teachers. Upper grade students learn library skills with the on-line catalog and develop research skills using the computer lab. Teachers use the library for specific research in conjunction with classroom study units.
Our librarian, Estella Sisneros, collaborates with the teachers, knows the children and helps them find books that match their interests, in addition to introducing them to new subjects from the wide variety of great books in our school library. Students check out books for recreational reading, as well as for class assignments.
LeConte is a recipient of a Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) federal grant which promotes literacy and the joy of reading through a program where students get to choose a new book to keep three times a year. RIF is run and coordinated by the library.
Please take an interest in you child’s library use, know what your child is checking out, help them return their books on time, and make time to enjoy reading with them. Thank you!
