It feels like a long time since our last Weekly Update! It has been great in the library!
Kindergarten: We looked at the difference between fiction and nonfiction books. We read a nonfiction book Sniffles, Sneezes, Hiccups, and Coughs by Penny Raife Durant. We were able to sort fiction and nonfiction books too!
First Grade: We read The Mitten by Jan Brett and talked about predicting. We also wrote about our favorite part and what would fit into our mitten.
Second Grade: We read The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins by Barbra Kerley and listened to Brian Selznick talk about creating the illustrations. This ties into the second grade dinosaur study.
Third Grade: Now that we know how to use the catalog we're learning how to find things we want. We started talking about how our library is organized and how books are shelved. This is a conversation we will continue for a few library classes.
Fourth Grade: We're continuing with Locked in the Library but extending it to finding things in the library and using the catalog to find what is available.
Fifth Grade: We discussed what we found for explorers and talked about the importance of verifying information we find online. We should be able to find each fact in at least two different locations to make sure it is correct!
Sixth Grade: We FINALLY finished our commercials! We're ready to watch them and vote on our favorites! I can't wait to see who will win!
