In Just One Day
Missouri Libraries Snapshot Day 2015
A day in the Library is more than just checking books in and out!
In just one day we might be: pulling resources for a teacher's lesson, planning lessons for library class, training volunteers, assessing students' skills based on previous lessons, troubleshooting technology, managing Reading Counts, mending books... the list goes on! With great certainty we can say we are never, ever bored!
Five classes had lessons today
Kingergarten used an ABC book to identify animals using beginning letter sounds and a book with rhyming words. We heard two Show Me Reader nominees in 1st and 2nd grade so we could compare and contrast them next week. Third graders worked with partners to practice using the Library catalog and 5th graders researched owls or their prey online based on the owl pellet dissection we did at 5th grade camp.
Reading was everywhere!
Sharing a book with a friend
A good book, a comfy rug, a cozy friend--great times!
Transfixed by a great story
Our ears were tuned to listen for words that rhyme in Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas.
Quiet Zone
Some prefer a quiet spot for reading.
Not one of our busy days of the week, but things were hopping!
