I am thankful for the many parent volunteers who donate their time in the library each week.
This week's Vocabulary Word of the Week is VETERAN:
From Mrs. Coyne’s Class
Veteran: a former member of the armed forces especially during wartime
We were honoring several veterans at our Veterans Day celebration.
AND Mrs. Creonte’s Class…
Veteran: one who has served in the armed forces.
We respect all veterans that once served in the armed forces, not only on Veteran’s Day, but every day of the year because they keep us safe and free.

November.... Historical Fiction
This week all classes are learning about historical fiction when they visit the library. Ask your child about it!
Our vocabulary words of the week are:
From Mrs. O’Brien’s class:
Mystery: anything that is kept secret or remains unexplained or unknown
When my dog’s bone went missing, it was a big mystery.
From Ms. Sarkissian’s Class
Region: an area that shares one or more features.
The state of Massachusetts is in the Northeast region.
What is Destiny?
I've been teaching students in grades 3 and 4 the Destiny Library program. This can be easily accessed from any internet connection. Simply go to the Waltham Public Schools website, click on "Students", then "@ your library" and then "Library Catalog". Students in grades 3 and up are able to log into Destiny, create lists, add friends, and more! I encourage families to try this at home. Please contact me if you have any questions.
