Weekly Update - September 18

Kindergarten: We finally got to check out from a shelf!  We learned the "Booky Looky" song to help us remember how to use a shelf marker.  We also played a book care game!  What a fun day in Kindergarten!

First Grade: We reviewed the IPICK Rap!  Some of us performed it at the First Grade Literacy Night!  We also read a story called Goldy Socks and the Three Libearians by Jackie Mims Hopkins and talked about choosing "just right" books.  I challenged some of the classes to choose a book by an author that starts with the same letter as their first or last name.

Second Grade: We're learning about choosing good fit nonfiction books.  We read The Shelf Elf Helps Out by Jackie Mims Hopkins.  We were able to look through some nonfiction books and identify the different book parts.

Third Grade: We're starting to talk about emails!  Each third grade student gets his or her own email address.  We have been talking about how to do this safely and how to write friendly email.

Fourth Grade: Some of the classes finished watching the digital safety DVD and having conversations about how to keep safe.  We used scenarios to discuss what we would do at home and at school.

Fifth Grade: We talked about staying safe online and how to create strong passwords.  We previewed Digital Passport and hope to try it next week!

Sixth Grade: We took an Internet and Cell Phone survey (see the results here) and created digital footprints!
