Library Learning Centers
I started up Library Centers this month. K-2 created bookmarks, solved Cube pattern puzzles, practiced sight words, and read in cozy library chairs. 3-5 explored origami, created bookmarks, built challenging block towers, and read in cozy library chairs.
The Pirate Girl's Treasure: An Origami Adventure
3-5 practiced listening and following step by step directions, along with learning some basic origami folding techniques by participating in a read aloud of this book by Peyton Leung.
Thanksgiving Programming
K-2 watched Franklin's Thanksgiving (narration) and/or Thanksgiving Day (narration) by Gail Gibbons. 3-5 participated in Thanksgiving centers by creating bookmarks using turkey drawing step-by-steps, roll a Turkey, and practicing grammar with Thanksgiving Madlibs.
Ordered 10 more iPad minis and foam cases with Mixed Bag Fundraiser money - for school circulation
Searching Destiny Catalog
Presented lessons to 5th grade STEM reviewing how to search the Destiny catalog for books about the states they are researching. I focused on determining FIC or NON-FIC by call number and locating the book in the correct area of the library.
QR Code Scavenger Hunts in Library
3-5 Students used knowledge of library setup and searching to complete Library Scavenger Hunt with QR codes. We used the Inigma QR Code reading app on the iPad minis and students' personal devices.
