Classroom Library
· The classroom library is a place for you. Reading is one of my favorite things to do, and I hope to instill the love and pleasure of reading in each of you.
· A lot of time, energy, and money have been put into this classroom library. Therefore, I ask that you respect our books and take lots of care and responsibility for the books that you check of our library out throughout the year.
· Books that are recorded for check out by a student and fail to be returned will result in the student paying for the original price of the book.
· The computer corner is place for you to use technology. Technology is a big, important part of our lives. We need to use it appropriately to learn, communicate with others, and sometimes just have fun.
· A lot of time, energy, and money have been put into the computer corner. Therefore, I ask that you respect our tools and resources.
· Students may only use technology when directed to or approved by Mrs. Lindeke.
· Students must observe all computer rules. If a student chooses not to observe the rules, he or she will be asked to move his or her clip.
