JANUARY 2025 @bvNlIbrAry Sock babies! Research! Year of the Dragon! Snow days! See this and more of what went on at the library this month!

Psychology sock babies

Ms. Salimbene's AP Psychology students began their sock babies project. They made their sock babies out of corn, cotton balls, socks, and other supplies from the library. This project took them on a journey of human development from womb to tomb. They were so creative with naming their sock babies!

AP Lit research

The annual AP Lit research project began with four classes of students working their way through the research process. Students started their preliminary research and thesis development by using the databases and their own curiosity.

Ap Lang synthesis prompt project

Juniors in AP Lang began their synthesis project, where they created their own AP style synthesis question and worked on it as a research paper. They learned about how best to use our databases and how to save and cite sources in MLA format. Students and librarians collaborated to find sources for their topic and make sure everything, even the annotated bibliography, was properly formatted.

check outs

Between one snow day and the next, we were able to get most of the ELA classes in to check out books and do some book talks. Students selected their independent reading books and stocked up for some long weekends with snow days.
