We had a great first week back from Break. We kept it slow this week and reminded the students of library procedures and allowed plenty of time for them to browse and check out books.
For the month of January, Kindergarten classes will be studying author and illustrator Eric Carle. We discussed his use of collage in his books and read Have You Seen My Cat? and then watched (and sang!) this video:
1st and 2nd are reviewing library procedures. Second grade is also starting to study Caldecott Award winning books. We'll be comparing and contrasting illustration in books that have won the award over the years.
3rd - 5th grade will be voting on their favorite Texas Bluebonnet book at the end of this month so we are discussing those books. We are also discussing what it means to be a "wild reader" (based on Donalyn Miller's book, Reading in the Wild) and how we can become "wild readers".
