Spurs Library News February
Steubing Ranch Elementary
What happened this past month?
While students were learning about natural disasters, our library was going through a large weeding project. Our goal is to weed out books that stay on the shelf for 3 or more years, and replace with more current literature. We weeded over 4500 books and will work to replace with selection of Spanish and English print. Thank you so much to the Library Processing Department for helping with this task. What could have taken me weeks, took them 2 1/2 days! Thank you so much!
What is coming next?
February is BOOK FAIR month! Yeah. We will be having book fair Feb. 22-26! The theme is Peace, Love, Books! How appropriate!
In Kinder we are beginning with mini lessons preparing them for their research later this spring. Students are understanding nonfiction, text features, sources of information, and taking notes.
First grade get to study and have some fun with the President's Day holiday. We are comparing two stories and learning some President's Day facts along the way.
Second Grade is also preparing for their recycle research unit by coming in for mini lessons on what are sources of information and how to note-take!
Peace, Love, Books!
Come to our Book Fair Feb. 22-26!
