Friday Recap

10/23/2015

What a week!!  Prek - 1st grade wrapped all their hard learning about spiders.  We had so much fun learning non fiction facts about spiders.  Though I think most of them will only remember Mrs. Gargula's favorite spider word "spiderlings".  A few classes learned how to draw simple spider webs to wrap up the week.

Second graders began learning about digital non fiction sources.  Over the next few weeks, we will be exploring new sources on the web.  Watch our list grow of resources on the Discoverylmc.com 2nd grade page.

Some students in 4th grade had the opportunity to experiment with Ozobots on Friday.  These are little robots that follow paths.  In the near future, I hope to have a group that will be able to code the ozobots with codes, using blocky.
There is always exciting things happening in the library media center!!

Busy Two Weeks

We've had a busy two weeks in the library. So busy in fact, I didn't have a moment to post last weeks update.

Last week our first graders and two kindergartners worked on a project of "Animals Should Not Check Out Library Books".  Check out their ebook we compiled here:

Mrs. Quimby's class spent three class periods learning about spiders, taking notes, writing a fact or spider vocabulary words and creating spiderlings to hang in the library window.

Our library laptop cart arrived and that meant our second through fourth graders to use them to work on learning about how a library is organized.  We play the game Shelver to learn how books are placed on library shelves.

Our prek students had fun playing alphabet bingo in the library this week.  A few students even had BINGO.

We are a very busy place with lots of activities going on.  Check back often to see our activities.
