This Week in the Library: March 14-18

This was a busy week in the library.  With three half-days at the end of the week some classes did not have library class this week.  If your class did not come to the library, your books will be due next week.  Here's what we did in class:

Kindergarten: We read a fiction book about bears ("More Bears" by Kenn Nesbitt) and a non-fiction book about bears ("Bears" by Emma Helbrough).  We compared the two books and talked about which book would be most useful for getting information.

Grade 1 (Gordon, Bonnell): We read "On Market Street by Anita Lobel.  After the reading this alphabet book, we took the words from the book and put them in alphabetical order as a class.

Grade 2 (Gregerson): We created a poster about the magazine section of the library.  We focused on magazine title, audience, advertising, and topic.

Grade 3: We worked on our posters for the Best Book I Ever Read poster contest, sponsored by the Edmonds Arts Commission and the Friends of Edmonds Public Library.

Grade 4:  No classes this week.

Grade 5:  No classes this week.

Grade 6:  No classes this week.

Professional: Attended the Edmonds SD Librarian meeting.  The meeting was at Brier Elementary.  We discussed a variety of topics including: collection development, best books, budgets, and MakerSpaces.
