Book Nooks

 Finding the right book and the perfect place to immerse yourself in the book to an important part of learning how to become strong readers.

This week our Trillium and Huckleberry classes continued to practice finding the "right-fit" book to check out and we read a fun story titled, Do Not Bring Your Dragon To The Library.

                                                              

In Clarkia classes we had a fun discussion about the different types of bridges they are discovering.  We talked about the upcoming Portland Bridge Tour and came to find out that many of us did not know what an Ariel tram was.  I am anxious to hear what they found out after Monday's field trip. We read an informative book on the life of a drawbridge operator.  

Books We Read This Week

  

Some of the great books we read this week during library classes.  

 This is a great story to introduce students to what a library is and what the job of a librarian is.  With fun pictures it keeps all well entertained.

This book is a great way to teach library check out procedures and etiquette while rhyming.  Ms. Blythe helped compose a complete rhythmic chant for our library classes.  The students all love to clap along to our beat and learn quickly how to follow our library procedures through this lovely book.




Weslandia is a story of a boy who develops his own civilization.  Through his creative designs from the ground up he realizes the importance of community and what it takes to make it successful.  The Clarkia classes enjoyed, Wesley's creative way he created his own clothes, food, and sports.  

New Titles!!

We have eased back into our library routine in the Mountain Meadow.  We have reacquainted ourselves with our library routines and expectations.  In the Huckleberry classes we have learned how even a lion in the library can follow the behaviors leading to successful library community.

The Clarkia classes have jumped in with review our Shelf Elf slogans on book care.  Here are some of our favorites:  

Turn the pages with great care, leave them whole without a tear.
Keep your books clean and neat, Away from all you drink and eat.
Return your books when they are due, So others can enjoy them too.
Keep books safe and out of view, from little ones and pets that chew.  

Please remember to help your child to bring back their library book on their library days!
