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.
