Library Update - March 14

Kindergarten:  We continue to work with fiction and nonfiction books.  We are very good at knowing the difference!  We played a Mimio game and each student had a chance to move a book into fiction or nonfiction columns.  There were a variety of read alouds this time.

First Grade: No read aloud as we are continuing to learn about text features.  We used some of the new nonfiction books that POWWER purchased for us to locate different features!

Second Grade: No read aloud for us either as we explored the library online catalog.  We learned how to search by keyword, title, and author!

Third Grade: We used a class set of the nonfiction book Penguins to search for text features.  We also played a game where we guessed the text feature based on our classroom definitions.

Fourth Grade: We're starting a mini research unit!  We chose a magazine we were interested in and looked at the different text features.  One class was able to look for a book on the topic as well!

Fifth Grade: Our research projects have been started.  They're starting to come together in their final forms.  So many great projects coming forward!

Sixth Grade:  We started Dewey Decimal commercials.  Each student is in a group for a given hundreds section of the library.  I can't wait to see the final results!

Have a fabulous Spring Break!
