Last week the students began writing their book talks. This week, most finished writing them. I can't wait until they begin sharing the book talks with others!3rd Grade
Miss Olson's class heard the book The William Hoy Story. This is the true story about an amazing baseball player that most people never heard of. William Hoy was a fast runner with a powerful arm who won lots of baseball awards in the late 1880's. Being deaf, William couldn't hear if pitches were balls or strikes when he was up to bat so he developed a series of hand signals that umpires could use. This was the beginning of umpires using hand signals. After reading this book, students said that the message is to never give up because William had to overcome many obstacles in his career.
After reading the book, we started to explore our library catalog system, Destiny.
2nd Grade
Mrs. Hermann's class met another class in North Carolina during a Google Hangout for Global Read Aloud! After that, we read the book Possum Magic and learned a little about Australia.
1st Grade and Kindergarten
These classes heard the funny and informative book I'm Trying to Love Spiders. In this 2018 Monarch Award book, the narrator tries (very unsuccessfully) not to squish spiders. Along the way, the narrator gives lots of interesting spider facts. After reading this book, we had fun reading The Eensy Weensy Spider Freaks Out.
