We are winding down our "weeding by students" project. Several books have been "rescued" by students from the tops of our shelves. Ms Margocs and the teachers will evaluate the books that are left to decide what stays in our collection, and what can be donated to classroom and pop-up libraries.
What's next to display? Books on autumn, scary books, and NEW books to read!
We have our first author visit coming up in two weeks! Donna Janell Bowman, author of Bluebonnet Award Nominee Step Right Up, will be visiting with fourth graders in the library to hone their library skills.
Read-alouds and lessons this week
Kindergarteners are reading along with Egg, by Kevin Henkes. They squeal at the surprise twist, and Ms Margocs loves the ending that focuses on friendship.
First and second graders are studying our Depth and Complexity icon of "Big Ideas" with Oliver Jeffers' Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth.
Third graders are exploring the databases on our iPads, fourth graders are reviewing genres and getting a taste of the Bluebonnet nominees, and fifth graders are logging in to Noodletools and practicing citations.
Next week, we will begin our countdown to our Fall Scholastic Bookfair; stay tuned!
