January Stats!
We've got a few more books on display, thanks to a recent Oscar winner. There are a lot of books about hair in our collection!
The Shelf Elves and Readers' Advisory clubs met together yesterday to look at and amend Ms Margocs' last big book shopping list for the school year. We're getting several award winners from fiction and nonfiction categories, as well as graphic novels suggested by the Little Maverick committee, series fillers and additional copies of the group's favorite books.
Read-alouds this week:
Kindergarteners are getting a homework assignment from Ms Margocs after listening to and discussing Alma and How She Got Her Name by Juana Martinez-Neal.
Ms Margocs shared the stories behind her name and the names of her children. The students' homework? To ask their parents the story behind their names!
First graders are having a checkout-and-read week.
Lessons this week:
Second graders are working on their basic citation skills using a Nearpod lesson, to prepare for an upcoming classroom project.
Third graders are learning about website domains and effective keyword searching to be efficient researchers.
Fourth grade is practicing the 5 Ws strategy for remembering the details of what they read.
Fifth grade is reviewing nonfiction text features using library books about weather and water, their upcoming science unit topics.
