Library Update


Kindergarten: We continued to checkout from the tables this week. We went on a bear hunt and a book hunt!  Also, all students are being asked about the book they checked out this week.  They either share the title or what the book was about.  Remember, we can read the pictures, read the words, or retell the story.

First Grade: We continue to work with "just right" books but also starting to learn about fractured fairy tales.  This week we focused on The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.  The students helped retell The Three Little Pigs then we compared and contrasted between it and The True Story...  They did a great job!

Second Grade:  Since we are still focusing on finding a "just right" book in non-fiction we are also learning about the different text features we can find in a non-fiction book.  These include, Table of Contents, Headings, Glossary, Index, photographs, and captions.

Third Grade: We focused our checkout on a "just right" book.  Then we filled out a sheet telling about the book, why we picked it, why we were reading it, what questions we had about it, and chose a page to try with the "5 finger rule."

Fourth Grade: We are continuing to focus on Internet Safety and what we can do to stay safe.

Fifth Grade: We are also continuing to focus on Internet Safety and making good choices online.

Sixth Grade: We focused on finding out about our digital footprint.  We even made our own footprint showing all that we do online.
