Behlau Library News

What a wonderful month! ALE enjoyed coming in and participating in our winter stations, which incorporated hands-on learning experiences. Our tomato plant and life cycle studies from earlier in the year beautifully showcased the life cycle of a plant, and students were thrilled to see the tomatoes growing!

Kinder through 2nd graders have been diving into exciting discoveries by researching polar animals. Meanwhile, our 3rd-5th graders took on the "Melted Snowman Crime Scene," an engaging activity that focused on debate, inferring, and using text evidence to argue their case about who melted the snowman, while also incorporating science to solve the mystery.

Celebrate Black History Month with your children this February, and learn about the accomplishments of famous and lesser-known African-Americans. Please stop by your library to find books about Black History Month.
