The end of first quarter is coming on Wednesday, October 31. Students, this is a good time to make sure that you have turned in any overdue books and paid for any materials that you may have lost.

Sixth grade students in Mr. Dupriest's and Mr. Salski's classes just finished their intensive research on ancient Egyptian pharaohs in the library. They begin their presentations on October 29 in social studies class. All students received instruction in how to access and use Encylcopedia Britannic Online and World Book Online by going to the Lincoln Hall home page, highlighting "Students", then "Library Resources", and then clicking the appropriate encyclopedia under "Recommended Links" on the left side of Ms. Murray's blog. The District 74 technology staff has recommended using the Firefox browser when trying to access these sites from home.

Sixth grade classes will be spending the week in the library in their Skills and Social Studies classes. Ms. Murray will be co-teaching with Mr. Salski, Mr. DuPriest, Ms. Mate, and Ms. Creaves. Our topics in Skills will be understanding and using the table of contents and the index of a book. In Social Studies classes, students will apply their skills to research Egypt's most famous pharaohs and prepare an oral presentation. In addition, they will be using online encyclopedias and the Internet.
