Weekly Update - March 29

Kindergarten:  We are starting to look at how books are made.  We read How a Book is Made by Angela Royston and How a Book is Made by Aliki.  We also watched a video on the production of books to see first hand what the machines look like!

First Grade: Ms. Shook's class has been doing a collaborative research project, so we started working on the final copy of the poster.  Mrs. Bobeldyk and Mrs. Watters' classes took an assessment on Nonfiction Text Features and read Not a Stick and Not a Box both by Antoinette Portis.  Next time we will do an activity based on those books.

Second Grade:  We finally got to search the library catalog for books!  We practiced using the Keyword, Author, and Title buttons.

Third Grade:  Finishing up our work on text features, we're creating biography posters using at least four text features.  We will finish them during the next library class.

Fourth Grade:  We finished locating materials on our chosen topic by using Encyclopedia Britannica.  We will learn about bibliographies next time.

Fifth Grade:  We had our FINAL workday to finish our presentations.  We will present our hard work during our next library time.

Sixth Grade:  Dewey Decimal commercials were introduced and started in class.  We will be finishing these in the next few library classes.
