Kindergarten: We read Chicks Run Wild by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen. We also tested our knowledge of book parts!
First Grade: After reading The Jolly Postman last week, we read The Jolly Pocket Postman by Janet and Allan Ahlburg this week. We continue to talk about location of books and how to find what we're looking for. We also tested our knowledge on this!
Second Grade: Milly and the Macy's Parade by Shana Corey was our historical fiction book this week. We learned about the fictional story of how the Macy's Parade was started.
Third Grade: Browsing is a skill that students have a hard time learning. This week, we were assigned a shelf and taught how to "browse" by looking at the front cover, reading the back, and reading a few pages. Based on those things, we decided if the book was a good fit for us or not.
Fourth Grade: After spending time searching for books using the online catalog, we focused on where books are located within the library. We also talked about how books are arranged on the shelf. All of these skills build upon each other to help us be good users of the library.
Fifth Grade: We continue our work with Digital Passport and this week focused on online searches. We want to make sure we find the best information in the shortest amount of time possible. We practiced this on paper and using the online game.
Sixth Grade: We are beginning our Dewey commercials! After learning about how to find books and where they're located, we're in charge of creating a commercial about one of the hundreds sections of nonfiction. We just got our groups chosen and had a little bit of worktime! We're very excited to start this project.
