Ms Margocs will purchase these books for our library in February, when we wind down this year's Bluebonnet Reading Program. You can now track your Bluebonnet reading on a Google form on the library website. Just look for "Reading Programs" in the menu. Students must be signed into Chrome with their school account to access the form.
What's on display right now? Thanksgiving, fall, and election/ government books!
Read-alouds and lessons this week:
PreK is thinking about feelings as they listen to My Blue is Happy by Jessica Young, illustrated by Catia Chien and My Friend is Sad by Mo Willems.
Kindergarten and first graders are learning about voting with an Armadillo Readers' Choice book-- I Voted: Making a Choice Makes a Difference by Mark Shulman, illustrated by Serge Bloch. We'll be asking our virtual learners if their parents have their voting stickers handy!
Second graders are also listening to an Armadillo Readers' Choice book, Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller, illustrated by Jen Hill. Our attempts to be kind may not always work, but being a friend means we keep on trying. There are many ways to be kind--giving, helping, and paying attention. This book ties into the social-emotional lessons on compassion the students are receiving in their classrooms.
Third through fifth graders are exploring our district and campus databases by logging in and spending time just looking at what's available to research and learn. At home, passwords may be required; they can be found by clicking on "English" or "Spanish" by the golden lock on the Research Resources page, and logging in with your student email and computer password. These resources are appropriate for elementary students and contain reliable, verified information for their school projects and their own personal learning.
Here's a teaser for some news coming next week:
Until then--keep on reading, Dillos!
