Welcome back from Spring Break! It is so nice to see classes in the library again. We're jumping right into read-alouds and lessons, with only six more weeks of library visits to go until we begin our end-of-year tasks.
PreK and first grades are learning about baby animals and their families. PreK is noticing that this is informational, nonfiction text; first graders are listening for facts that are new to them.
Kindergarten classes are trying not to yawn as Ms Margocs reads The Yawns Are Coming! by Christopher Eliopoulos. (Ms Margocs has a Sleepie that lives on her couch...)
Second graders are enjoying the hand gestures that go along with Rita & Ralph's Rotten Day, and thinking about what it takes for Rita and Ralph to get past being angry and be friends again. (Hint: it can't happen instantly.)
Third graders are learning that research begins with a question, and the keywords in that question can help you find just the information you need--especially using our online databases.
Fourth and fifth graders are reviewing website evaluation using TRAAP--timeliness, relevance, accuracy, author, and purpose. They know that not everything you see online is true!
Readers' Advisory is helping Ms Margocs make plans for the library program next year. We see more booktalks in our future--and maybe some genre challenges, poetry slams, spooky flashlight storytelling...
See you in the stacks, Dillo Readers!
