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

We are back to our schedule of read-alouds and lessons in this first week after Spring Break!  Can you believe that we only have three more rounds of lessons before we begin collecting all of our books and running library inventory?  This year is flying by!

Read-alouds this week:

PreK is making connections with the big bad wolves of fairy tales and the one the piggies are looking out for in Watch Out for Wolf! by Anica Mrose Rissi, illustrated by Charles Santoso.

Kindergarten and first grade classes are listening to the entertaining Bear Came Along, a Caldecott Honor book written by Richard T. Morris and illustrated by LeUyen Pham.

Lessons this week:

Second graders are learning about some of our online research resources for their upcoming study of earthquakes, floods and wildfires.  

Third, fourth, and fifth grades are reviewing nonfiction text features to become efficient researchers and readers.

Library news:

The afterschool Bluebonnet Book Club begins next Tuesday!  Open to second graders through fifth graders; we will be reading Bluebonnet Award Nominees for the 21-22 school year.  Our first book, The Canyon's Edge by Dusti Bowling, is also on the Lone Star List for middle schoolers--so our fifth graders can get a start on their reading list, too! All participants get a copy of the book to keep.

 

Overdues:  We will be distributing overdue book lists to students who have library books that are more than one month overdue.  Please do your best to look for the books in your homes, cars, and daycares.  Books may be returned at any time during the school day in the green bins inside and outside of the school, and at Grab and Go Curbside Book Service hours (see below).

Grab and Go Curbside Book Service is still happening on Tuesdays from 1p to 230p and Thursdays from 5p to 630p! Please visit the library website for all the information you need to get library books to read at home for our remote learners.

Keep forever books:  Do you need books for your own home library?  We may be able to help.  Email your librarian at Christine_Margocs@roundrockisd.org with your grade level, and we will get books to you!

See you in our Meets and in the library, Dillo Readers!
