This Week in the Library: March 27-31

The week before spring break is always a busy one.  Here's what we did in library classes this week!

Kindergarten (Cook/Morehouse): We read "The Relatives Came" by Cynthia Rylant.

Kindergarten (Widener): We read "A Possum Come a Knockin'" by Nancy Van Laan.  We talked about family and relatives again.

Grade 1 (Hirst/Stillwaugh): We read "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson.  We reviewed how books are shelved in the Everybody Section of the library.

Grade 1 (Gordon/Bonnell): We read "Don't Be Silly Mrs. Millie" by Judy Cox.  Mrs. Millie has a humorous way of speaking!

Grade 2 (Gregerson): We read "Sp Say the Little Monkeys" by Nancy Van Laan.  This was a folktale from South America (Brazil-Amazon).

Grade 2 (Holt/Rempel): We learned how books are organized in the Fiction section.  We reviewed how to use a 5-finger check to see if the book is a "just right" book.  We made a class poster that will be hanging in the fiction section.
