Covenant's Research Continuum

In middle school, students are introduced to the basics of our library: how to use the computer catalog, find a book, check out a book, etc. Sixth-graders learn about properly citing a picture/image while researching for their bird projects. In the fall, seventh-graders working on their science fair projects get a solid foundation in using the project folder and various other research features of NoodleTools, an online research tool. In the spring, they apply their research skills in a cross-disciplinary project that spans their world literature and world geography classes! Students spend several sessions in the library to hear book-talks, learn about databases, website evaluation, citing sources, and creating proper and useful note cards that support their research. In high school, there are a variety of projects throughout the year in various classes that build and improve these research skills. Seniors use the library as a stepping-off point for gathering resources pertinent to their Senior Thesis topics. Our librarian is available for large group, small group, and individual instruction.

In addition to research, our library offers a vast array of books for students in Grades 6-12 to read. We also have several thought-provoking exhibits that change monthly! If you get a chance, pop into Covenant’s library and see what's happening.
