Library Lesson Updates!!!

And just what have pre-school through 5th been doing in the library this year?????

They have been very busy! The preschoolers have been enjoying stories ranging from books about self, to nursery ryhmes and song stories, to seasonal books about Halloween, Thanksgiving , and Christmas. The Kindergarten students have been learning how to locate books on the library shelves by reviewing their alphabet. So far they have learned about books up to the letter K and how every book lives on a certain shelf with it's neighbors that have the same last name. ( Such as letter B or C or J.) They have also listened to stories about Clifford, seasonal stories and books about school. The first graders have been reading about Mr. Wiggle, a library bookworm who tells them all about the library and books. They have learned how to take care of books and how to use their manners in the library. The second graders have been reviewing library skills and have begun to learn about authors. So far they have learned about Kevin Henkes and Tomie DePaola. The third graders have recently been learning about fairy tales and the especially the characters of the three pigs and wolves. They will be completing a report about a wolf or pig using research books and encyclopedias. The fourth graders have been reviewing library skills by doing a scavenger hunt where they had to go to different stations in the library and practice different skills such as putting books in ABC order or finding information in an atlas. The fifth graders have been learning about fairy tales from different countries and will be writing their own fairy tale after Christmas. As you can tell, we have been very busy in the library learning skills and enjoying books!!!!
