Lower School Library

TEACHING LIBRARY 

The Trinity Lower School Library is staffed by a teacher with an early childhood/elementary degrees. This benefits the school family in a number of ways:

  • The librarian operates the facility from a teacher’s perspective
  • The librarian uses books as teaching tools to meet core standards in all areas of the curriculum

  • Lessons are taught daily in science, language arts, math, social studies, technology, etc.

  • The library acts as an extension of the classroom as it enhances classroom lessons

Mac Lab
The library has a Mac Lab connected to the library allowing students to learn research skills, as well as a host of other computer skills.

The library is able to meet the needs of the whole child through art, technology, hands-on activities, math, science, and music.

Kingdom Keepers
Kindergarteners (K5) are paired with fifth grade students. They write letters to each other throughout the year, as well as meet in the library every 4-5 weeks for joint activities.

AR Program
The AR Program is an independent reading comprehension program. Students are encouraged to participate. Grade-level goals are set and small incentives are given throughout the year (breakfast with the Head of Lower School, point clubs, incremental prizes, end-of-the-year reward for those accomplishing their goal).

STAR Tests
These tests are administered 3 to 4 times per year and are used as an additional assessment, concerning each child’s reading level. It also assists the librarians in helping children choose appropriate books.
