Fifth Grade Helps Out

I had a few special guests in the library with Mrs. Timmons' PS/PK class today. Three of our fifth graders were on hand to help out, and our youngest students were so excited to have the "big kids" there to read to them. I couldn't resist grabbing my camera to snap a few pictures.

Second Grade Authors in the Library

Our second graders have been hard at work for the past few weeks in their classrooms, writing their own nonfiction books. They became experts on their topics, so Ms. Hanni, Ms. Mallaney and I wanted to share their hard work with the rest of the school. I created a special section in the library for student-created work, and we had a ribbon cutting ceremony today as we placed these new books in the library collection.

These books are available for all of our Maury library patrons, so stop by and take a look! (These books are made to be enjoyed in the library, not checked out.)

Ms. Hanni and Ms. Mallaney share information they
learned from their students' books.

Fairy Tale Theatre

I spend lots of time reading to students. This week, it was my turn to be in the audience! Our Kindergarten students had a great time acting out fairy tales using puppets. I was so impressed by how well Mrs. Battle's and Ms. Vick's classes took to the role of storytellers. Fairy Tale Theatre will definitely become a regular part of the library!
