Library Happenings: This week, fourth graders started learning more about the Coretta Scott King Book Award. We discussed some history of the award, why it was inspired by the work of Coretta Scott King, and explored a variety of books, authors, and illustrators who have been recognized through this award.

Kindergarteners have learned so much about taking care of books, and where to find their favorite everybody books in the library. We opened up a new area of the library, our browsing bins for them to explore. We will slowly open up more sections of the library to our youngest students so they can learn where to go to find the books they love.

First graders are learning about opinion writing, so I shared the book, Give Bees a Chance by Bethany Barton. We talked about how when we share our opinions with others, we give reasons why we believe what we do. In this book, one character is working to convince another character how wonderful bees are (even if they sometimes sting us).

Tech Tip of the Week: Be careful when unplugging your headphones

Book Talk: This is a Story

Follow the library on Facebook to see more of what we are doing!

Looking forward: Fourth graders will continue their exploration of Coretta Scott King Award Books and picking ones to share with their first grade classroom buddies. Fifth graders are working on 3D Design by learning some of the key skills need in order to further create. I will be working with kindergarten classes to begin designing their own galimoto. We will start by brainstorming our ideas before we build our galimoto.
