February is full of celebrations and learning! Happy Lunar New Year to our Dillos who celebrated earlier in the week! Of course, we have books about this holiday:
Valentine's Day is coming soon, and we are already getting requests for related books:
And it's Black History Month, of course. We are featuring nonfiction historical books and biographies, as well as fiction books featuring Black authors, illustrators, and characters. Ms Margocs is almost finished with this month's bulletin board:
Read-alouds and lessons this week:
PreK is discovering a different way to express their feelings as we read Niko Draws a Feeling by Bob Raczka, illustrated by Simone Shin.
Kindergarteners are looking for a change in a goblin's attitude toward unicorns in Unicorns Are the Worst, an Armadillo Readers' Choice book by Alex Willan.
It is checkout week for first, second, fourth, and fifth grades; they have their entire library visit to find good-fit books and spend some time reading them.
Third grade is preparing for their biography reports by exploring our Britannica School database.
