MR / Schenectady, NY /.Yates Arts in Education Magnet School / urban public elementary school / Grade 5.Students work cooperatively as they browse internet as part of library class assignment to review book and online resources about upcoming holiday (Girl foreground: 10, Puerto Rican American; Boy: 10, African-American). Students will search on-line and in book collection for information on America's involvement in wars and on traditions associated with the holiday of Memorial Day.  In this school, as in most, tightening school budgets have affected staffing and materials. Students have library class once every two weeks for 45 minutes; the librarian is in the building (so they can come on their own to check out books) two and a half days a week.  .MR: AD-g5a Ort1, Dra1..© Ellen B.
