We had a special visitor on Monday!
The Bookworm came to visit our kindergarten and first grade classes. She had a talking dictionary named Webster, taught us the words "ventriloquism" and "collection", and read some classic stories. She even made Mean Soup to help us when we have a bad day!
Our students wrote some lovely letters to send to The Bookworm:
Meanwhile, back in the library, our K-2 classes are voting on their favorite Armadillo Readers' Choice book! So far, Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar and You Don't Want a Unicorn are our top two contenders; we will have the final results for our school on Monday.
Third graders are continuing to review our end-of-year library survey data and giving Ms Margocs feedback to improve our library program. Fourth graders are working on inference through metaphor poetry, and fifth graders are learning how to take notes and cite Gale resources.
Over the next two weeks, fourth graders will get to learn about our broadcast team positions, and will have the opportunity to apply for next year's teams! Applications will be completed at school. Parent permission slips must be returned for a student to be considered for the team.
May 4th is coming up fast--the last day for student check-out. Students will return all books the week of May 7th. Now is the time to start looking really hard for those missing library books!
Important dates:
May 14th--all books due back to the library
May 14th-16th--library closed for STAAR testing
May 17th-18th, 21st-25th--Summer Reading lessons in classrooms
Thank you, Lee Family, for the beautiful flowers in our library!
