Library
The Lawton Library is a very special place!
Welcome to the Lawton Library, where we love reading and learning! Our goal is to help students develop a love for reading while also building important skills in finding and understanding information. Ms. Gallegos teaches lessons to every homeroom class (K-5) about different types of books, information and digital literacy, research skills, and managing both our book and technology collections.
4th & 5th Grade Reading Odyssey
Goal: Read and log at least 30 books this year—21 books from assigned genres and 9 books of your choice.
4th & 5th Grade Reading Odyssey Form
Global Reading Challenge
Every year, 4th and 5th graders take part in the Global Reading Challenge, a fun team reading competition. Students join mixed-grade teams, read books from the GRC list, and compete in a trivia-style contest with other teams at the school.
In March, the winning team from Lawton competes in a semifinal round against other schools in the district. The goals of the program are to:
- Encourage a love of reading
- Introduce students to new perspectives
- Help students remember more of what they read
- Promote teamwork and group activities
If your 4th or 5th grader wants to join, more details will be shared after the books are announced in early November.
