BCE Library Newsletter
Library Lady Leaks v. 16
So...
yeah.
There has been a lot going on in the BCE library, hence the delay in the newsletter. Students have been:
- creating mini anchor charts for myths and legends and then viewing examples of each to identify these elements.
- creating mini anchor charts on fables and then watching Tumblebooks stories to determine if they should be labeled as fables.
- reading an Irish Legend and making a My Lucky Charms bar graph
- reading Wolf! by Becky Bloom and playing a Kahoot to test their comprehension of the story and vocabulary such as ached, genre, concentrate, discovery and more.
- learning how to access their Katy ISD Google Account and working in Google Slides
- learning about differences in saltwater and freshwater habitats and then sorting animals that reside in each of these areas.
- learning and reading books about food chains and then creating two food chains based on the book Jump, Frog, jump by Robert Kalan
- doing research for their Texas History projects or their Living Museum projects.
- learning about different biomes
- discussing differences between fiction and nonfiction and then reading books and based on the elements of the story determining whether it is one or the other.
- using Katy Library Resources and more to gather information on an animal or other topic for a research paper.
- continuing to work on their Digital Passport.
- and much, much more.
I do not know what it is but a child skipping down the hall, in the library, wherever, makes me smile, makes me happy. Just sharing.
I have witnessed pure joy in the library this week as students in Kindergarten were given about seven minutes to free draw and with M A R K E R S!!! There were gasps, kids were singing, happiness was all around. Love it!
Shout out to Mr. Jones who allows me to bounce ideas off of him on how I can help reinforce what they are doing in the classroom. Collaboration is key to the success of our kids.
Shout out to Mr. Fry for having a birthday which gives me a reason to get a PIÑATA! If you have not read the sign in my office, I am a true believer that "Life would be infinitely better if piñatas would magically appear throughout the day."
