This Week in the Library: January 9-13

What a great week!  We had a great MLK assembly on Friday.  Here's what we did in library class this week:

Primary Classes (K-3): We heard "If You Ever Want To Take an Alligator to School, Don't!" by Elise Parsley.  This humorous book is part of our Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award list.  Students recalled why you shouldn't bring a dinosaur and imagined what other animals you might not want to bring to school.  Vocabulary: origami, smack (smacking gum), twirl, mischief, impressed.  BOOK TRAILER

Grade 4: Joined a google classroom for library and heard about the directions for their upcoming best book assignment.

Grade 5 & 6 (except Chase): Began a Best Book exploration project.  Students will look at four of this year's titles learning about the author, thinking about genre, and deciding if this might be a good book for them to read.

Grade 6 (Chase): They were introduced to the Best Book program.
