HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE NH SEACOAST ~ Atkinson Historical Society is hosting this event
here at the library. (Register please for @ 6:30 PM on Thursday 9/19/2019.
Terry Nelson was an educator for
forty years. His last position before retiring was as an assistant principal
for Southside Middle School in Manchester—the home of the Spartans. He is a
member of the Manchester Historical Association; Woodman Museum, Dover, New
Hampshire; New Hampshire Archeological Society; and the Council for British
Archaeology. He and his wife, Barbara, live in Dover with their little dog,
Ellie.
Terry will be discussing his book,
Hidden History of the New Hampshire Seacoast.
The New Hampshire Seacoast has a wealth of overlooked history. Some remnants
are hidden in plain sight, and others are just plain hidden. The author reveals
some of New England’s most fascinating history, from Durham & Madbury to
North Hampton & Portsmouth.
HOME WITH
CHROME: Take the bus on Mondays and plan to spend time doing
homework using either your own Chromebook or one of ours. Ages 10+ under
library policy do not need a parent to accompany them so youth in that category
may come and hang out in the Teen Room to use *Chromebooks and get homework
done
Supervision will be intermittent. We will assist with homework
questions to the best of our ability but we are NOT tutors or task masters.
This space is for tweens and teens who are mostly self-directed and need an
environment away from home to get homework done and would enjoy hanging with
peers.
This is an especially great idea for grade 5 who will be using
Chromebooks daily starting in middle school and we will assist with getting
them familiar with the device. Feel at 'home with Chrome'!
Youth may take the bus from Atkinson Academy to the library if
parents make arrangements with pick-up patrol or from the Timberlane Regional
Middle or High School. (The library is not taking responsibility for the
transportation, we are only letting you know that there is a bus that stops
here.) Please pack them an extra snack that they can have when they arrive.
Please register ages 10 and up and start your t/weens week off
right by getting homework done with fun! They can come every Monday we are open
or intermittently. They can actually come any day, but supervision cannot be an
expectation other than Mondays.
*The awesome Lenovo Chromebooks were generously donated by The
Greater Salem Rotary Club! We couldn’t be more grateful! Youth that have test piloted them thus far
love that the hinge folds back and it has touchscreen capability.
READER’S
THEATER: Do you
like to read? Come to our Reader’s Theater and read from a 'script'. No worry
about remembering your lines, just play the part as you read! Everyone can have
a turn, share the fun and perform without costumes or props. This is a great
way to practice reading out loud and help you feel like a real performer!
We're including grades 2-5 so come and join us at the
theater!! Please register ASAP for the September 26th performance at
6:30 PM.
'Reader's theater is a strategy that combines reading practice
and performing. Its goal is to enhance students reading skills and confidence
by having them practice reading with a purpose.
