=[|Corral Drive] Coyotes= Welcome to the [|Corral Drive Elementary Library] ! The library is located in the center of the school. Students visit the library once a week for a half hour to take part in a mini lesson and check out books. Parents are welcome to visit the library and ask for their own patron account. Nothing better than a family that reads together, regardless of the grade level of their child. Please note the library schedule and visit during our open library times.

This wiki is designed to be an extension of the school library. Multiple sources of information can be found here for students, parents and teachers. This site is designed for our community. If you think of something you think would be helpful and a good addition please let me know.



Library lessons and projects are often worked on at the tables. After checkout that tables also serve as a gathering place for reading of books and available periodicals. Having the tables in the non-fiction section also lends to the students "window shopping" informational books.

The Library also serves many other functions. It is a gathering place for staff meetings, staff development, Spanish club, an ocassional place for the Chess Club as well as grade level presentations, small group work, guest speakers, and PTA meetings.

Library pit where younger patrons gather to listen for a good book. The Pit is also used for reader's and author's theatre. Guest speakers have presented in the pit and in the table area.

This is our Check-out desk where our clerk can spend some very busy moments checking out books, checking in returns, and placing popular books on hold. This is only a small part of what our clerk does in our active library.

Kindergarten spent a couple of weeks learning about fables. Fables are a short story with a moral. The kindergarten classes enjoyed making a mouse to go along with our fable, //The Lion & the Mouse// (we looked at two different books on the same fable).

One of our Prairie Pasque nominated books was Whistling Wings, a story about a swan. Our project involved watching a video that showed step by step directions for folding an origami swan, which was not as easy as it looked but had the students mesmorized and determined in their many attempts.
