Welcome to the Library!

Hello, everyone!  We are having an adventure this year and will be using our Schoology resources for most learning.  I am going to keep the Library page filled with fun extra activities and our permanent links.  I hope we will be back to using it soon.  I'm leaving some of the favorite quarantine activities at the top and deleting the resources that are no longer free.  There is a great page in your homebases with all of our district databases and learning sites called AAPS Elementary School Resources.  Take care, Mrs. Evaldson

Are you reading a rainbow?  Shall we revisit an oldie but goodie this year?
                                  
Do you like crafts?  The AADL has a new service that you can use for free if you have a library card.  There are more than 150 online class activities for kids and they look really fun.  Go here and create free Creativebug account.
