THE LRC PROGRAM

Individuals and small groups are encouraged to make use of the LRC to work independently or to check out materials.

Early Childhood: Early Childhood classes are scheduled for book checkout each week.

Kindergarten: The Kindergarten classes are not scheduled on a weekly basis, but students come to the LRC according to the classroom schedule to return and check out books daily. In the fall, students are scheduled to use the computers in the Tech Den. At this time they use a paint/draw program and create a fall/pumpkin scene. This activity coincides with their fall study and field trip to a Pumpkin Farm. In the spring, our kindergarten has a very special unit on Ocean Life. At this time small groups are scheduled to do research using the electronic encyclopedias and internet with the LRC Director and then using a paint/draw program, students create a picture of their area of study. Students have researched whales, sharks, shells, sea turtles, etc.

Grades 1 - 5: Classes are not scheduled weekly. Teachers can schedule whole or small group or entire class for book checkout.

Flexible Schedule: Teachers, along with the LRC Director schedule classes to do research, use the internet, type reports, create HyperStudio projects, etc. These projects are curruculum related.

Tech Den: The Tech Den area consists of 13 computers. Students in grade 3-5 are also scheduled to use a program called "Type to Learn" to practice typing skills.
