This week, our preschool classes will be reading all about counting. We'll read:
Ten Apples Up on Top by Dr. Seuss
How Many Feet in the Bed by Dianne Johnston Hamm
Ten Black Dots by Donald Crews
One is a Drummer by Roseanne Thong
Pre-K students will be reading Make Way For Ducklings by Robert McCloskey. (More information is TBD.)
Last week, Kindergarten classes learned about the differences between fiction and nonfiction. This week, we'll build on that lesson, and talk about the fact that fiction and nonfiction are in separate sections of the library. We'll read Julius by Angela Johnson and Pigs by TBA.
First grade classes will learn about how the library is organized and why each book has one special place on the library shelf.
Second grade classes will build on last week's lesson about why the alphabet is so important in the library. We'll practice using alphabetical order.
This week, the third grade will talk about the differences in the way fiction books and nonfiction books are arranged in the library. Next week, we'll talk about how to find fiction books.
Fourth graders will be reviewing how to find fiction books and how a call number is used. We'll practice finding fiction books if we have time-if not, we'll continue this lesson next week.
The fifth grade will learn all about the Dewey Decimal System this week. We touched on it briefly last year in fourth grade, and this week we'll be expanding on that knowledge. We'll read What Marion Taught Willis by Brook Berg.
