Stories and more stories! This is where we read stories to our Kindergarten and First grade classes. The children know that when they first come in, they must sit on the rug. This routine is established at the beginning of school. All classes are invited for special stories during holidays and special events. Our story time area

Take a look at our non fiction books. The Dewey Decimal Classification is a way to shelve books according to their subject matter. It is kind of like a book’s address. These books are shelved by their call number. We use the Dewey Decimal Classification.
