Week of December 4th

Here we are in December already!  The weather is getting colder so it's the perfect time to snuggle in with a good book!  We have lots of new books that are almost ready to be checked out!



We have been busy in the library this week.  Here's what we've been learning.

5th Grade:

We are learning about using keywords when searching for things on the internet.  We learned the importance of using precise words in order to get the best results.  Then, we practiced by finding answers to questions about dogs.


3rd & 4th Grade:



Our 3rd and 4th grade students learned about how the nonfiction books are arranged in our library.  First, we read the book The Shelf Elf Helps Out.  Then, students practiced finding books with different call numbers on our shelves.  It can be tricky and they did a great job!

1st & 2nd Grade:



We read the book Boy + Bot.  In this story, the boy meets the robot and they begin playing together.  While playing, the robot is accidentally turned off and the boy thinks the robot is sick.  Later, when the robot is turned back on again, the boy is asleep so the robot thinks that the boy malfunctioned.  With the help of another character, both are well and have lots of fun playing together.  After reading the book, students practiced retelling the story.  Students used Flipgrid to record themselves retelling the story and they did a great job with this first attempt.  Here is the link to our videos:  https://flipgrid.com/da183a

PK & K:

 

We read the books Boy + Bot and Beep Beep Go to Sleep.  After reading these fun robot books, kindergarten students created their own robots.  Here are a few:




Happy Reading!
