Great Lake Great Books Series

In library class, students are participating in an activity called Great Lakes Great Books. Each year, Michigan librarians and teachers nominate exceptional books and Michigan K-12 students vote for their favorites. The winners are announced at the annual Michigan Reading Association conference each year. You can find a complete list of the nominated Great Lakes Great Book here. At Logan, students in grades K-1 are reading the K-1 book list, and students in grades 2-5 are reading books from the 2-3 book list.

Literature is a powerful tool to learn about other people, communities, and cultures, and many of the books included in this Great Lakes Great Books series will allow students to do just that. Amy Rodriguez, Logan's librarian, has compiled a document summarizing each of the books. I am attaching that document to this weekly update so families can familiarize themselves with the books in the series. They represent a collection of diverse stories that can lead to rich discussions in your home.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me, or you can also contact Amy Rodriguez directly at arod@aaps.k12.mi.us.


A2 Virtual Information

Over the past semester, I have had conversations with some families that expressed interest in exploring asynchronous instruction that is offered through A2 Virtual+ Elementary.  While we’d love to keep your child here at Logan at this time we are offering families an opportunity to adjust their enrollment selection. As you consider your options, please note that the Classroom Connect program and A2Virtual Academy follow different pacing and sequencing of the learning standards. This may result in gaps and overlaps of instruction.  

An A2Virtual Academy informational meeting will be held on Thursday, December 10, 2020 at 6:00-7:00 p.m.  Join the meeting with this link: https://a2schools.zoom.us/j/91756772137. Information is also available at a2schools.org/a2ve .

Click HERE to express your interest in enrolling your child in the A2Virtual Academy by Tuesday, December 15th, 2020.
