This Week in the Library: September 9-11

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!  It is so exciting to see everyone.  This was a 3-day week, so I only saw a little over half of the classes.  Here's what we did in library classes this week.

Kindergarten (Cook): We met Mr. Sonnen, the librarian.  We shared our name and favorite food with the class and we heard "Chrysanthemum" by Kevin Henkes.  Vocabulary words: chrysanthemum, Parcheesi, miserably.

1st Grade (all classes):  We heard "The Librarian from the Black Lagoon" by Mike Thaler.  We discussed what a library is and learned some of our procedures.  Vocabulary words: laminate, laminated, laminator, overdue, decontamination.

2nd Grade (Goodsky, Rempel): We heard "The Library Dragon" by Carmen Deedy.  We practiced entering and exiting the library and reviewed safety drill procedures in the library. Vocabulary words: incinerated, incensed, linoleum, singed.

3rd Grade (Liker, Pawling):  We created a list of things we remembered from library class last year and a list of things we hope to do in this coming year.  Students also checked out their first books and found their assigned table spots.

4th & 5th Grade (all classes): We completed a September library interest survey and checked out our first books.  Students learned where their assigned library seat was and some of the procedures in the library.

6th Grade (Bogert, Hanson): We completed a September library interest survey and checked out our first books.  Students learned some of the procedures in the library.

Professional:  Much of this week was spent preparing for classes, completing some updates on the school web page, assisting teacher with technology burps, and helping around the school with the new parking lot procedures, students moving through the building, and getting teachers books to read aloud to their classes.
