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

 We are continuing with our library visits via Google Meet this week!  

Our PreK classes have been learning about shapes, so Ms Margocs is sharing Round is a Tortilla: A Book of Shapes by Roseanne Thong, illustrated by John Parra.  It's fun to hunt down all the examples of circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, ovals and stars in the pictures.


Kindergarten classes will be making predictions when they listen to Cake by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet.  What do you think might happen if a cake gets invited to a party?

First and second graders are learning more about the bones in their heads as we read the nonfiction book Skulls! by Blair Thornburgh, illustrated by Scott Campbell.  It just so happens that Ms Margocs has a skull handy by the computer--a Día de los Muertos skull, that is!

Third through fifth grades are either catching up with genre lessons, or discussing what they're reading for personal enjoyment through the genre lens.  When we use the language of readers, we are able to articulate our book preferences and communicate more clearly with other readers.

Don't forget that classroom and curbside book delivery is still going strong!  Use the hold option in our online catalog or the book bundle request on our library website to get your hands on great stories!  Book returns are quarantined for seven days to keep us all safe.

Teachers will be having staff development on Monday and Tuesday of next week; Tuesday library visitors can make up their lessons the following week.

Keep on reading, Dillos!
