John Lewis Childs School fourth graders in Douglas Palmer’s class enjoyed their library lesson with school librarian Lidia DeVita on Sept. 15.

Stations were set up for the students to explore, including Call Number Puzzles, Lego challenges and an apple-themed station with Johnny Appleseed books and a STEM challenge to build a fence around apple trees. At the end of the lesson, they read books on the new flexible seating furniture purchased last school year and checked out books to take home.
