Ms Margocs is processing a PILE of new books! We are adding many titles to our Spanish language collection, updating nonfiction choices, and introducing a new series for our beginning chapter readers.
Several new cookbooks have arrived, too!
Annnndddd...the 23-24 Bluebonnet nominees are here!
They won't be put on the shelves until we compete in the Battle of the Bluebonnets. Seven students have been invited to try out for our campus team; we'll know our top four scorers this week! The district competition will be held virtually on February 28th.
Yesterday, our Bluebonnet readers of distinction stopped by the library for a Grab-and-Go Donut breakfast.
This week's lessons and read-alouds:
PreK is counting luchadores wrestling on the bed with Nikko in The Great and Mighty Nikko: A Bilingual Counting Book by Xavier Garza.
Kindergarteners are discovering the many jobs involved in building our infrastructure through Someone Builds the Dream, a Texas 2x2 book by Lisa Wheeler and Loren Long.
First and second graders are laughing through Bob Shea's Chez Bob, an Armadillo Readers' Choice nominee. How would you advertise a restaurant for birds located on the nose of a hungry alligator?
Third graders will be drawing their best guesses of what metaphor poems are describing.
Fourth graders are following the spinning wheel to identify text features in nonfiction books. Will the wheel land on glossary, caption, index, cutaway, diagram...?
Fifth graders are exploring themes in poetry using bilingual poems as well as song lyrics by Tupac and Pink. (Don't worry, parents, Ms Margocs is using kid-appropriate verses!)
Next week, all third through fifth graders will be taking our district student climate survey during their library visits, so they will need charged computers.
Happy to see you in the stacks again, Dillo Readers!
