This Week in the Library: March 13-17

We ended this week with half days.  Not all of the classes came to library this week.  If your class didn't visit the library,  your books are due next week.  Here's what we did in the classes that did come to the library!

Kindergarten (Widener): We watched the Washington Children's Choice Picture Book video so we could remember the book we have heard in the library and in class.  After the video we voted for our favorite!

Grade 1 (Hirst, Stillwaugh): We watched the Washington Children's Choice Picture Book video so we could remember the book we have heard in the library and in class.  After the video we voted for our favorite!

Grade 1 (Bonnell): We heard "I Don't Want to be a Frog" by Dev Petty.  Frog learns that being a frog is a pretty good thing!  Vocabulary: slimy, besides, curly, and fierce.

Grade 3: We worked on our "Best Book I Ever Read" posters.  The posters are due Thursday, March 23 (next week).  Students will also work on them in class.

Grade 5 (Wildenhaus): We learned about Newsela.  Students had time to read current event articles at their reading level from this website!

Grade 6 (Chase): We explored Britannica Encyclopedia Online.  Students looked at articles and resources to support their learning of Ancient Egypt.

Professional:  Last Saturday I attended the state meeting of the Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award committee.  We met to determine the 20 books for the 2018 nominee list.  On Sunday I participated in a day long Red Cross Lifeguard / CPR / First Aid / AED re-certification class. I met with my library collaborative group on Wednesday afternoon.  We are working on teaching a coding unit.  I also worked on troubleshooting various technology issues throughout the building (red cat, chromebooks, laptops) and helped teachers with tech questions.
