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

There are read-alouds and lessons and surveys happening this week--and we are expecting even more new books!  Follow our Twitter account for pictures when they arrive.

Read-alouds:

PreK has been practicing name-writing in class, so we're reading another book about that very thing--Yoko Writes Her Name, by Rosemary Wells.  Ms Margocs even includes a picture of how her name is written in Japanese, thanks to her son-in-law!  We spent a few minutes talking about different languages spoken in the students' homes:  Portuguese, Spanish, French, Turkish, Arabic, and Gujarati!

Kindergarteners are following along with Ava and her mother on their weekend adventures in Saturday by Oge Mora.  They teach us a great lesson on what to do when things don't go our way!


First and second graders are listening to their last Armadillo Readers' Choice book of the year, Little Taco Truck by Tanya Valentine, illustrated by Jorge Martin.  Little Taco Truck has a big problem and uses creativity and his voice to solve it.

Second through fifth graders are taking Ms Margocs' end-of-year library survey, to help improve our library program and collection.


Fifth graders are starting their IB exhibition project, so they received a review lesson on our research resources and note-taking/ paraphrasing.  Ms Margocs has office hours set aside next Monday in case they need help with their research.

Coming up in twelve days....our Online Spring Scholastic Book Fair!

Ms Margocs will be attending her virtual Texas Library Association Annual Conference from her office desk for the next few days; Ms Moss will assist classes with checkout.  See you in the library next week!
