Kindergarten: Read Aloud: Mouse Shapes by Ellen Stoll Walsh We built a mouse using different shapes. We also read Mouse Paint by the same author and compared the two books.
First Grade: Read Aloud: The Mitten by Jan Brett We summarized the book. Next time we will read The Hat also by Jan Brett and make comparisons between the books.
Second Grade: Read Aloud: The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins by Brian Selznick We read and discussed this biography. It tied well to the dinosaur unit they are doing in their classrooms.
Third Grade: We continue to work on the nonfiction section of the library and the Dewey Decimal system. We explored different titles in the different hundreds section. It was fun to see different kinds of books!
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. We're also working on our order of library materials.
Fifth Grade: We are starting our research projects. This class period we read a book called R is for Research by Toni Buzzeo. Even though it's a picture book it had good ideas for us to think about. We listed our top three research topic ideas and started to look at what would be available.
Sixth Grade: We finished our presentations and presented them to our classmates. These projects will be shared with the teachers at Orchard Hill to help them learn about the different AEA Online Resources.
