Kindergarten: Read Aloud:
The Christmas Tugboat: how the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree came to New York City by George Matteson. We also watched some short videos about how they install the Christmas tree.
First Grade: Read Aloud:
How Santa Got His Job by Stephen Krensky. We also talked about what skills he gained from his other jobs and how that prepared him to become Santa. Then we wrote about what we want to be when we grow up and what skills we'll need.
Second Grade: We read
Celebrate!: connections among cultures by Jan Reynolds. We also wrote about different themes traditions have (food and drink, music and dance, dress, and use of fire). It was fun to see the common themes throughout holidays from different times of the year and different traditions.
Third Grade: We worked on the skill of browsing this week. We were assigned a few shelves to look at and take notes on whether or not we liked the book based on the cover, back cover, and first few pages.
Fourth Grade: We continue to work with Locked in the Library and learning about the nonfiction section!
Fifth Grade: We finally finished our Digital Passport unit. We are now well skilled in Internet Safety and being a good digital citizen.
Sixth Grade: We continue our work on our library commercials. They are looking good!
