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

We are back on a regular schedule this week!

Kindergarteners are reviewing our Armadillo reading list to prepare for voting on their favorite book next week:

Thanks to RRISD's fabulous Armadillo Readers' Choice Committee!

First and second grades are wrapping up their last Armadillo read-aloud with My Awesome Summer by P.Mantis, a nonfiction picture book about an interesting insect.

Third graders are reviewing the results of the library end-of-year survey and giving Ms Margocs suggestions to improve the library program next year.

Fourth graders are reading metaphorical poems and drawing what they think the poems are about.  It's an interesting reveal at the end of the lesson!

Fifth graders are learning some of the bells and whistles of our online Gale resources to help with an upcoming research project.  Last week, Ms Margocs was invited to Ms Gagliardi's room to celebrate with students who participated in the Slice of Life Story Challenge--blogging every day in March.  Fifteen fifth graders--and Ms Margocs--blogged for 31 straight days!

If you have misplaced a book, please make every effort to find it! The most common places for finding library books seem to be classroom and home bookshelves, under car seats, in a sibling's bedroom, or in a classmate's desk.  We prefer not to bill for a lost book until a month has passed, because they are often found by then!

It seems hard to believe, but we only have two-and-a-half more weeks of checkouts for the students.  All books are due back to the library by Monday, May 14th, which means the last day for class checkouts will be Friday, May 4th!  Students will still come to the library to return books and receive lessons and read-alouds through Friday, May 11th.

We are on the downhill slide to summer--keep on reading!
