I have been teaching at St.Joseph for over 18 years and truly enjoy sharing
my love of books with children of all ages. I received my BS degree from
Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, MI. Catch the spirit...READ!!!
It is the primary goal of the library to provide materials that will meet the
needs of the students at St. Joseph School (i.e. educational, informational,
spiritual, cultural and recreational).
One objective is to encourage students to read for enjoyment. The library is
accessible to the students in a welcoming atmosphere and opportunities are
provided for silent reading as well as storytelling.
Another objective is to develop research skills using reference materials in
an instructional atmosphere or in classroom related projects.
One last objective is to help students develop goal-setting skills. Grades 4-
8 set personal Accelerated Reader goals for each quarter. Results are
printed in TOPS reports after each AR test and quarterly reports sent to the
parents.
