It's Wednesday! What's happening in the Sommer Library?

We had a LOT of characters in our library yesterday...book characters!

Our Sommer Stallions enjoyed dressing as their favorite book characters for Halloween.  Our technology support wizard, Mrs. Jackson, made a beautiful Charlotte from Charlotte's Web!  Ms. Margocs was a very, Very Hungry Caterpillar.  And just look at the characters in Mrs. Bryant's class!

We are reading several different books in The Book Nook this week.  Kindergarten is exploring unanswered questions in I Will Not Eat You by Adam Lehrhaupt, illustrated by Scott Magoon:

First graders have been "feline" fine, viewing a cat through multiple perspectives in They All Saw a Cat, a Caldecott Honor Book (and on our Armadillo list!) by Brendan Wenzel:

Second graders are discussing the "big idea" that author Carmen Agra Deedy is trying to impart in The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet, another Armadillo Readers' Choice book:

Our third, fourth, and fifth graders are touring the nonfiction section of our library, learning how the story of growing up can help us remember where books are located.  Fifth grade has been combing our nonfiction shelves for literary nonfiction to read in class!

If you are a veteran related to one of our Sommer Stallions, be sure to attend our Veterans Day Assembly next Friday morning, November 10!  Details can be found on our school website.

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers and WatchD.O.G.s who have been shelving our books this week!
