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

 We have a new interactive bulletin board display in the hallway, next to the library entrance:

All staff and students are asked to contribute to our "reading piles".  The best recommendations come from friends!  

Ms Margocs delivered goodies to our Dillo readers who read at least five Bluebonnet Award Nominee books and submitted their reading "log".  Students on and off campus received a copy of a nominee from this year that they hadn't read yet, as well as a mini-notebook, "RRock Reads" pencils, and bookmarks.

We will have a new read-aloud club starting after Spring Break!  Ms Margocs will be reading books from next year's Bluebonnet Award Nominee list to help students get a jump start on the program.  The first book, The Canyon's Edge by Dusti Bowling, is also on the Lone Star list for middle schoolers, so fifth graders will want to participate, too!

Read-alouds and lessons this week:

PreK is looking for animals in different habitats using I See a Kookaburra by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page.  Ms Margocs tried using Google Jamboard with this book for the first time with our virtual learners--they did a great job navigating with the help of their teacher, Mrs Woodall.

Kindergarteners are learning that sometimes the wolf isn't the bad guy in Watch Out for Wolf! by Anica Mrose Rissi, illustrated by Charles Santoso.  Text-to-text connections can be one big surprise!

First graders are exploring anger management with Fergal and the Bad Temper by Robert Starling.  Counting, breathing, and exercising can help blow off some angry steam!

Second graders get to see Tom Percival's idea of what a worry looks like (and learn how to shrink one) in Ruby Finds a Worry, one of our Armadillo Readers' Choice books.

Third through fifth graders are getting a lesson in email etiquette, and flooding their teachers' inboxes as practice.

We still have Grab & Go Curbside Delivery happening every Tuesday from 130p-230p and Thursdays 5p-630p!  With the cold front coming in, we may be watching for cars through the door this Thursday evening; we'll have the sign out so you'll know we're there.

Have a happy Valentine's Day, Dillo Readers!
