Library TLE Distance Learning

Hello Tahoe Lake Cubs,

Welcome to distance learning at TLE Library.  Each week, I will be posting read-aloud storytime for K-2nd and 3rd-4th by Weds.  

For 3rd-4th, we will be continuing word of the week.  The word of the week is pentagon: a noun, a plane figure with five straight sides and five angles, (from the Greek root penta meaning five).  Related words:  pentameter, pentagram, pentathalon.

Our AR contest will continue in a different format.  Please continue taking AR tests for each book read via Clever.  If you take at least one AR test and score above 80% for every week of distance learning, you will win a special prize from the Library when we return to school.  I will be able to follow your results in Renaissance Learning.


March is Women's History Month.

Quote of the week:  "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.  Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less."       Marie Curie
