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

We are in Week 4 of distance learning in our district!  It seems most of us--teachers, students, and librarians--are getting the hang of teaching and learning by slide decks.  So "what's on deck" in the library this week?

Kindergarten through second grade classes are listening to our last Armadillo Readers' Choice read-aloud of the school year--What If, by Samantha Berger, illustrated by Mike Curato.

It's a story about being creative, so students are asked to show off their creativity!  If they are ready to do so, the Armadillo book review and voting link are on the next slide.  The review and voting link will be repeated in next week's slide number one, so students have time to think about their favorite book.

Third through fifth grade classes have a poetry focus on their slides this week!  There is a rap reading of Dr. Seuss' Fox in Socks for all three grades, with different poetry activities for each--blackout poetry for third and fifth, an inference poetry guessing game for fourth.  You can also listen to a read-aloud from Ms Margocs--poems about books, since it's also National Library Month!

Several families have contacted their teachers and the library regarding book returns.  We are currently working on those plans, and will announce them as soon as they are solidified.  If you are leaving our district, please make arrangements with another returning family to hold on to your books for you.  Please keep your library books in a safe place until you get to return them; thanks for helping maintain our library collection under these unusual circumstances!

Can you believe we only have three weeks of school to go?  We'll be talking about summer reading before you know it, Sommer Stallions!  Happy reading!
