Academy Street Students Learn About The Library

BAYPORT-BLUE POINT — Fourth graders at Academy Street Elementary School in the Bayport-Blue Point School District learned the ins and outs of their school’s library through an engaging library scavenger hunt.

Students were broken into groups and given a checklist. Each group’s checklist held a different set of criteria for students to follow. For instance, students were asked to find a book by a particular author and write the title, find a series of books and count how many were in the series, find the non-fiction section and look for a book about a particular topic and more.

Once each group finished the tasks on their sheet, they unlocked information on who their special guest reader would be.

To end the hunt, Principal Lorie Beard joined the students for a read aloud of, “Island Trilogy” by Gordon Korman. The series focuses on adventure which happens to be the fourth-grade class’s theme for the year.
