This week testing gets into full swing. 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade began testing. This resulted in some library schedule changes. Here's what we did this week!
Kindergarten: We heard "Ugly Pie" by Lisa Wheeler. We looked at the foreshadowing in the illustrations and we also noted that this book has end matter (a recipe for ugly pie!)
Grade 1 & 2: We created "safety stars" based on last week's reading of "Officer Buckle and Gloria" by Peggy Rathmann. Students wrote a safety tip and drew a picture on their star before cutting it our. Each tip was assigned a number. The stars will be posted in the library the next couple weeks!
Grade 3 (Keating / Liker): We heard "Ugly Pie" by Lisa Wheeler. We looked at the foreshadowing in the illustrations and we also noted that this book has end matter (a recipe for ugly pie!)
Grade 3 (Pawling): We heard "Precious and the Boo Hag" by Patricia McKissack. Precious keeps her wits about her as the Boo Hag comes to her house!
Grade 4 & 5: We continued our digital citizenship unit, Picture Perfect. In groups we looked at 2 examples of photo shopped magazine covers and discussed why companies want perfect photos and how that might make people feel.
Grade 6: We continued our work on reading transportation schedules, looking at the train schedules.
Professional: Continued serving as building test coordinator for state testing: troubleshooting, arranging for make-ups, rearranging specialist times, getting information to teachers. Attended the district librarian meeting Tuesday evening at Seaview Elementary. We talked about summer reading, best books, and more! I completed the state library survey. Submitted student thank you letters to Donor's Choose for our Snap Circuit grant. Attended our regular staff meeting. I also took our two teams to the district battle of the books at Brier Elementary (one team won 3rd place!).
