Pre-K/PPCD
This week Pre-K students worked on identifying characteristics of the season of fall and created leaf rubbings to decorate their fall trees with.
Kinder
This week kindergarten students worked on identifying fiction and nonfiction differences. This is a skill that students have been working on in class, and in order to support their in class learning in the library we identified books that fit each category. Then students were challenge to cut pictures out of real items that would be nonfiction sources then identifying the remaining pictures as fiction sources.
First Grade
First graders worked together to learn parts of a book through the use of a Pear Deck presentation. Students not only increased their awareness of the parts of the books they read, but they worked on assisting each other with how to draw using a Chromebook mouse pad! This was a great lesson to integrate technology skills that our first graders are using in class with our book foundation skills!
Second Grade
Second graders also worked on identifying parts of a book, but at a more in depth level! After watching a song over the parts of the book and then working as a whole class to review, students were then placed in teams to manipulate pieces of a book and label them. All classes did an excellent job and had a great time while doing it!
Third Grade
This week in library our third graders looked back at The Library Dragon and collaborated with partners to complete a library scavenger hunt to better familiarize themselves where library resources are located. Afterwards students shared with their classmates what they learned.
Fourth and Fifth Grades
Fourth and fifth grade classes worked in collaborative teams on a scavenger hunt as well. This scavenger hunt tested their skills from our lesson on call numbers and how to locate resources in the library on the shelves.
You've Been Booked!
This year in order to introduce students to some of our newer books we have instated the "You've Been Booked" Program. Chosen grade levels will receive appropriate leveled picture books that are new to the library, teachers complete the read aloud and then pass the book bag on to the next teacher within that grade level. Kinder and third grade both completed and returned their first booked bags!
Banned Book Week
Every year libraries across the nation celebrate the freedoms we have in choice of what we read. This week is known as Banned Book Week. This week recognizes books from the past and current books that organizations and others have tried to censor and remove from libraries. Banned Book Week helps others recognize the harmful effects of censorship. Thanks to the teachers who stopped by and took their picture with their favorite banned books!
