Library Media Center
Grange Elementary Library Media Center welcomes all students,
K-5, and provides instruction in many areas. Boys
and girls learn how to locate books and information using “Destiny
Quest,” a card catalogue software program. They
learn about the organization of the library, different
kinds of books, (fiction, nonfiction, reference, etc.),
as well as various genres of literature, authors, and illustrators. Children
enjoy read-alouds and are encouraged to check out books
each week, take good care of them, and return them on time. “Strive
for 25,” a program which Grange supports, challenges
students to read 25 books during the school year. Mrs.
Grasso can be found in the library on Mondays, Tuesdays,
and Wednesdays. Mrs. Dobihal is on duty Thursdays
and Fridays.

Computer Lab
Grange Elementary’s computer lab contains 28 computers
for student use. During the year, classes in grades
K-5 will have a scheduled computer lesson every other
week. The fifth grade students will have technology
as a special one time per week. Software programs such
as Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, Pixie, Inspiration,
and Kidspiration will be used to teach or reinforce content
directly related to classroom curriculum. Learning
to locate information on the internet using student search
engines and online databases and resources like World
Book, BrainPop, SIRS Discoverer, and America the
Beautiful will be emphasized. Mrs. Dobihal is the
part-time technology integration teacher. |
