Weekly Update - November 8

Kindergarten: We had our first experience with the Mystery Box.  We predicted what the story was going to be about before we even saw the cover or heard the title.  Then we read Pumpkin Jack by Will Hubbel.  We also talked about the parts of a title page and worked on a labeling sheet.

First Grade: Read Aloud: The Jolly Postman by Janet & Allan Ahlbert.  We used what we learned from The Jolly Postman to begin discussions about how to find books in the library.  We even got to practice locating a book!

Second Grade: Read Aloud: Fall Weather: Cooler Temperatures by Martha Rustad.  We continued our discussion about nonfiction and how to find what we're looking for.  We used a house and neighborhood example, ask your second grader about it!

Third Grade: Read Aloud: The Stranger by Chris Van Allsburg.  Last Library time we read The Widow's Broom by Van Allsburg and we compared and contrasted the two stories.  This is a skill they will be learning in their classroom.

Fourth Grade:We continued working on our searching and locating materials in the library using the online catalog.

Fifth Grade:We had a "catchup" day with our Digital Passport learning.

Sixth Grade:We also continued working on our searching and locating materials in the library using the online catalog.

Conferences are next week!  Watch for information about learning in the Library!
