If you're curious about how the universe works, physics is a great place to start. Physics allows us to understand the complex world around us by breaking things down to basic building blocks and simple rules; then, we can use these basics to explain what makes the rest of the world and the cosmos tick. It's an exciting subject going from the subatomic scale to the galactic, and used in fields ranging from medicine to energy.
Information about the topics of physics can be found in the nonfiction section under the Dewey Class number 530. Some subheadings for information found in this area are matter and antimatter; mechanics of solids, fluids, and gases; sound and related vibrations; visible light (optics); heat, electricity and electronics; magnetism; and molecular, atomic, and nuclear sciences. Although it is one of the oldest academic disciplines, it's a field that is only becoming for fertile for discovery! Explore a few of the ways this ancient discipline is taking us into the future. Check out the 530's in the nonfiction section!
Enjoy a good read!

Party Time
Today Mrs. Markwardt's Kindergarten class enjoyed watching the movie, Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer as part of their reward for everyone returning their books and getting 5 stickers. They also enjoyed juice, popcorn, and fruit snacks courtesy of Mrs. Reiter, K-12 Teacher Librarian and Diana Rodriguez, Elem. Library Aide.
K-M already has 2 stickers toward filling their next 5 sticker quota. Mrs. Tenold's K-Prep has 3 stickers on their chart. So, far these are the only 2 classes to have celebrated with a library party. Mrs. Jenison's class has earned 1 sticker, Ms Bram's class has earned 2 stickers, Mrs. Kuhlers' class has earned 3 stickers, Mrs. Torkelson's class has earned 1 sticker, and Mrs. Mick's class has earned 1 sticker.
Kindergarten through 3rd grade students can participate in the library party reward program. When everyone in the class returns their book(s) on library day, the class gets a sticker for their chart. When 5 stickers have been earned, we plan a library reward party!
