We've refreshed our book displays for the new month:
We'll also have craft books, biographies, and books by Don Tate, James Patterson and other featured authors on display throughout February.
Read-alouds this week:
Kindergarten and first grade classes are both listening to The Little Red Fort by Brenda Maier, a different take on the classic folktale "The Little Red Hen". Ruby is determined to build a fort, but her brothers don't want to be bothered to help. The focus is on the Depth and Complexity icons of Ethics and Patterns.
Lessons this week:
Second graders are learning the basics of citation with a Nearpod lesson created by Ms Margocs. Author, title, and date of publication for books are being used. Website name, date of access, and url will be their citation for digital resources.
Third graders are participating in a choose-your-next-move lesson on keywords, searching tips, url domains, and database use for more effective research. Good research starts with a question!
Fourth and fifth graders will be completing the district student climate survey this week.
