It's a week of new books, new displays, and new lessons in our library!
As you can see above, we are celebrating "Banned Books Week" by displaying children's books that have been challenged and/or censored in the United States. Our district has a detailed, comprehensive policy to follow in such circumstances.
Read alouds this week:
PreK social-emotional learning is focusing on waiting, so Ms Margocs is reprising her funny voice to share The Very Impatient Caterpillar with our littlest scholars.
Kindergarteners are learning about the needs of animals, and zookeepers do a lot to fill those needs. What Do You Do If You Work at the Zoo? is a Texas 2x2 book.
First and second graders are considering the things they want to be able to do, but can't just yet. The Magical Yet is an Armadillo Readers' Choice book.
Lessons this week:
Third through fifth graders are reviewing the vocabulary of readers with a talk about genres, in preparation for our Bluebonnet-Genre Mashup Game coming up.
Fifth graders are also getting their second round of research lessons. We're sharing Journey Box Google Drive folders with their teachers, making sure they've found at least one good article from our databases to save in their folders, and learning about Gale's note-taking tool to help with writing and prevent copy-and-paste (plagiarizing).
Ms Margocs spoke with our Scholastic Book Fair representative this week! We will have lots of great books to purchase the last week of October!
