Northwood School Laker

November 3, 2023

News from the Library

The library staff is joined this year by a student teacher. Kristen Buckman is a graduate library student at the University of Rhode Island. She will be working in our school library for the next six months doing her student teaching internship for the school library media certification track. She has an undergraduate degree in biology and has worked in public libraries for many years. She has an interest in theater and art. She looks forward to continuing meeting the students and staff of Northwood School and discovering how she may be a support to the school community during her learning journey! 

The 3rd graders have begun Non-Fiction November! We started this month by exploring biographies, and the students took turns reading with partners to learn more about Jim Thorpe, Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, and other interesting people.
