Author Visit: June 2nd
Author of the famous "Who Would Win Series," Jerry Pallotta will be visiting our school on June 2nd. Students in all grades will meet Mr. Pallotta on the day of his visit, learn more about his books and the writing process. In addition, students who preorder his books will have an opportunity to have him autograph their copy of his book. Information will be going home in the upcoming weeks as we prepare for Mr. Pallotta's visit. We can't wait!
Preschool "Storytime Suitcase" Program & Launch Party
Storytime Suitcases:
At the Lake George Elementary School Library we work hard to support our readers and their families in fun and engaging ways. That includes supporting our youngest readers- OUR PRESCHOOLERS. We are very excited to announce a brand new preschool program called, "Storytime Suitcases." These loanable “suitcases” allow for learning "on the go." Each suitcase is stocked with a book and a related, interactive activity for families to borrow from the library and take home. The activities in the suitcases were created by our elementary school librarian and reading specialists in order to help develop basic foundational reading skills, while instilling a love of reading.
Launch Party Information:
This brand new program will be launched on May 20th from 5:30-6:30 pm at the elementary school. All preschool age students in the Lake George School District and their families are invited to attend. During the launch party families will not only learn more about the program, but they will have an opportunity to explore the library, listen to a read-aloud, and check out their first "Storytime Suitcase." If families are not able to attend our launch party they can still take in the program, but registering using the following link: https://bit.ly/LGESLaunchParty.

Book & Movie Programs
Our Wild Robot Book Club was a huge success! Our students loved reading about Roz's adventures during their lunch and really loved getting to see the story come to life on the big screen!

This book club will take place during lunch and will run all year long. Each month Mrs. Crossman and Mrs. Chodack will pick a different "feeling" to feature. The feeling will be introduced through a picture book read by Mrs. Crossman and then explored a little deeper in a fun activity led by Mrs. Chodack. At the end of the year any student who participated in one or more of the monthly sessions will be invited to join us for a showing of the movie Inside Out 2.
Each month we will release a new schedule with the featured feeling, book & activities, and days each level is scheduled. Please stay tuned for further information.

Summer Programs Highlights
We offered many wonderful programs to our students this summer. Between open library hours on Wednesdays, a lending library of books, equipment, supplies and passes, "Do'NUT Know What to Read" Book Club, "Art Time", and "Books and Beaches" our students had a great time learning and exploring. Thank you to all our community partners that made this possible.
The LGES Library is Here for You!
While our entire website is designed to help support our learners, teachers and families, our homepage has been specifically tailored to be a quick and easy place to access critical resources to support all of our patrons. Please be sure to reach out if we can help provide additional support.

Family After-School Library Hours
|
Prior to Covid our library was full of families during after-school hours. We would love to open the library back up again for students and families to come and enjoy. Families can feel free to browse the shelves, read a good book together, work on homework, or enjoy a quiet activity. We ask that all children in grades K-4 who are staying to come with a family member who will supervise them. We encourage parents of students in grades 5-6 to come and enjoy the library with their families as well, but they are more than welcome to stay in the library without their families, as long as they have their parents permission, have signed up prior to 1:00 on the sign-up sheet posted on the bulletin, and have work (homework, reading, projects, etc.) to during their time. Students are not allowed to use their phones during this time.
The library will be open Monday -Thursday from 2:20-3:10. With the exception of the first Tuesday of each month while the staff attends our monthly faculty meeting. Please reach to Mrs. Crossman or Mrs. Chance for further information! |
