Welcome! - Weekly Update x2 (August)

Wow!  I can't believe how much school has passed by and I haven't posted!  Welcome to the new school year!  I hope your families are adjusting well and staying cool!  We have been back in full swing at the library.  Below are what we have covered the first TWO library classes!

Kindergarten: Our first library class, we met the Library Lion and discussed library rules. Our second day we got to checkout a book!  We discussed safe places to keep the book and how to treat our books.  We read What Happened to Marion's Book.

First Grade: We read The Best Book to Read and talked about different kinds of books in our library.  We also took a tour to remind us where our favorite books are.  The second library class, we read Hands by Lois Elhert and talked about different kinds of gloves.  We compared gloves to books and we want to search for a book that fits us well.

Second Grade: Our first library class we read Read All About It by Barbra Bush and Jenna Bush.  We also talked about different kinds of books in our library.  Our second class together we talked about what makes a 'Good Fit Book' and we reviewed the IPICK rap!

Third Grade: To start our year we had a scavenger hunt for different parts of the library.  When we came back as a class we talked about all the different places we explored.  On our second class, we talked about the new Genre Challenge.  We spent some time talking about good fit books and writing a little about ourselves.

Fourth Grade: We played Library BINGO on our first day of class.  Our second day, we wrote about ourselves and talked about our new Chromebooks.

Fifth Grade: In our first library class we wrote about ourselves and our reading habits.  We also reviewed rules and procedures in the library.  In our second class, we started talking about our Acceptable Use Policy for technology.

Sixth Grade: Library class #1 was spent reviewing the library rules and procedures.  We also shared what we had read over the summer.  Our second class was spent reviewing the Acceptable Use Policy for technology and talking about skills 6th graders need before they leave Orchard Hill.

We've had a great first few weeks!  I can't wait to see what all we discover this year!
