Welcome

Welcome to Pumpkin Delight Elementary School. Our program has two goals: to teach students to become competent seekers and users of information and to instill a lifelong love of books and reading.   These goals are met through our Library Media Curriculum as well as the resources available in the library.

The Library Media Curriculum focuses on information literacy skills. In the younger grades the focus is on literature appreciation, finding materials in the library and learning to choose appropriate books. In the older grades, the focus is on research skills. Students learn how to do research using the Big 6 research process. Students learn skills such as narrowing a topic, creating research skills, identifying and locating sources, notetaking strategies and creating a bibliography. The Curriculum also reflects both state (Connecticut Framework for Learning) and National (Information Power) standards for information literacy.
