What a whirlwind of a 6 Day cycle it has been! I can't believe it's almost October! Here's what we've been up to in library!
Kindergarten: Last week we read Going on a Bear Hunt and this week we read Going on a Book Hunt. It was so much fun for the students to participate in the reading with their actions! When we were finished, we got to color a sheet that showed books on shelves. We only colored the ones that were put back correctly, but it was fun! We're also working on what books we read over the last week, so if you have a Kindergarten student, remind him or her of the title before bringing the book back!
First Grade: We read Bread and Jam for Frances and completed a writing activity about what kinds of books are our "bread and jam" books. Books we LOVE but we checkout all the time. We brainstormed a different kind of book to checkout this time. We also challenged ourselves to find a book on the shelf that matched our first letter of our first or last name. If we completed the challenge we got a sticker!
Second Grade: This week we checked out first and used our IPICK strategy on our good fit book we got for the week. We answered questions and then got a chance to read more of our book. When we were finished we read Night Flight: Amelia Earhart Crosses the Atlantic, which is a nonfiction narrative story.
Third Grade: We were so lucky this week! We got to use the Chromebooks! All we were able to do was login and change our password, but it was fun!
Fourth Grade: We also got to use Chromebooks to take an Internet Safety quiz and set the Orchard Hill Library webpage as a bookmark. When we were finished we worked on some Internet Safety scenarios.
Fifth Grade: Mr. Grafenberg's class tried to access Digital Passport to complete an online activity on using how distracted cell phones can make us, but the site wasn't working. So we discussed Internet Safety scenarios. Mrs. Penberthy's class created their own "text messages" in response to people using them at inappropriate times (for example, in a movie theater).
Sixth Grade: We looked at how easy or difficult it would be to find out personal information about someone from their online presence. Using a ficitonal person, we were able to find her name, address, phone number, family names, email address, age, description, high school, interests and made notes about her schedule. It was an eye opener for some students. We also were able to look at data from our Internet and Cell Phone Usage Survey. Every year our results get better but they're still interesting!
