Library
Welcome to another exciting trimester in the Library with Ms. Tanner! 📚✨ We’ve been diving into the wonderful world of books, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been up to and what’s coming next! Let’s jump right in!
Last Trimester
In Kindergarten, we explored the question, "What's in a library?" and enjoyed some delightful read-alouds! 📖💖 Our 1st graders learned about the differences between fiction and nonfiction, and how picture books are organized. 📚🔍 The 2nd graders discovered how all books are organized in the library, along with some fun read-alouds! 📘🎉
The 3rd graders took a deep dive into the Dewey Decimal system and were introduced to the Rhode Island Children's Book Award! Check it out here: Rhode Island Children's Book Award 🏆📚 Our 4th graders got hands-on with the library catalog, which you can explore here: Library Catalog! 💻✨ Lastly, our 5th graders also navigated the library catalog and discussed the important topic of plagiarism. 🚫📄
This Trimester
We are in the middle of another trimester of fun! 🎉 In Kindergarten, we have been learning about coding and the prestigious Caldecott Award! Our 1st graders also did coding with Gingerbread men and are diving into an author study of Jan Brett! 🐻📖 The 2nd graders started coding on computers and will be learning about the beloved author Tomie dePaola! 🎨📚
The 3rd graders learned about code.org and are learning about
Digital Citizenship, while our 4th graders interacted with code.org and are discussing Digital Citizenship and the Acceptable Use Policy. Finally, our 5th graders had some fun with code.org, and are reviewing Digital Ditizenship with an emphasis on cyberbullying. 🚨💻
Things to remember
A friendly reminder to all students: please return your library books every week! 📚🔄 This helps keep our library organized and ensures everyone has access to the wonderful stories waiting to be read!
Until next time!
Thank you for your continued support in making our library a vibrant place for learning and exploration! 🌟 Keep encouraging your little readers to dive into their books, and I can’t wait to see what adventures await us next! Happy reading! 📖💖
