K5 had fun falling into books. We read Leaf Man, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves and two new books--Going on a Leaf Hunt and Tap the Magic Tree. We practiced sequencing using an activity from TPT.
First grade also got to read Tap the Magic Tree and then we read the Library Mouse A Friend's Tale and labeled parts of books.
Second Grade reviewed parts of books with the power point The Library Doors. I love this power point because there is a place where I stop it, let the students check out books, then we go back to the power point and find the various parts of the books listed on the remaining to screens using their newly checked out books. I also love using my iPad, Slide Shark, and Reflections to project the power point.
Third Grade did a crossword puzzle to review parts of the book. Next week they will take an easy test to see if they learned all their parts. We also discussed that there are more books in the library than Magic Treehouse and Geronimo Stilton. I encouraged them to try a Cam Jansen, Horrible Harry, Ruthie's Gift, Encyclopedia Brown, AstroKid , or Boxcar Children to name a few.
Fourth grade got a quick lesson on the school website and how to find the eBooks necessary for the project on colonial jobs. I reminded them to use the search engine on the website. Then showed them how to log in to read the eBooks. books with. While we were looking at the books of course we looked at the parts of nonfiction books. Click here for eBooks.
Fifth grade reviewed the differences of Historical Fiction and Non Fiction. We then searched for the book needed to complete their wax museum project. Wax Museum will be November 20th. Each student will dress up as a character important to world history. They also need to bring a prop to illustrate what makes them important in shaping our history.
