Library Update

Each time we finish a library cycle I'm going to write a quick update on what's going on with each grade level.  This will provide you with a quick overview of what your child is learning in the library!

Kindergarten: We took a library "safari" and checked out all the different aspects of the library.  We also looked at some damaged books and talked about book care.  We're hoping to checkout books next time they visit!

First Grade: Our grade level worked on choosing "good fit books."  We practiced the I PICK rap we learned last year and talked about the different kinds of books we might choose.  We also read Stella Louella's Runaway Book!

Second Grade:  We read Miss Smith Reads Again (which is a sequel book to one read in the classroom).  We also practiced the I PICK rap and made sure one of the books we checked out was a good fit.  Did we do a good job?

Third Grade: This is the first year students get access to their email accounts.  To prepare we're looking at the Acceptable Use Policy and what it means.  We also checked out books!

Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grade: Before getting on computers this year we also looked at the Acceptable Use Policy and talked about what the rules are.  We started a conversation about Internet Safety as well.

We are looking forward to learning more in the weeks to come!
