Welcome to the 10th week of library story times and checkout. This week's lesson is a review procedures and checking out. 1st grade is also moving to choosing from 4 shelves to check out from so that they can move to the entire everybody section in December and for the rest of the school year.
Our read aloud this week is Harlem Grown by Tony Hillery. This is a true story that is a SCASL picture book nominee. Our activity is designing our own gardens by drawing them. This is a true story about a man in Harlem who noticed the need for fresh fruits and vegetables in the neighborhood and set about creating a farm on a vacant lot across from P.S. 175. What he learned, and shares in his book is that students are more likely to eat something they have grown. Gardening teaches teamwork/collaboration and patience. There is also a lot of trial and error in gardening and this is helpful in teaching children not to give up, but to try again.

Our read aloud this week is Pig the Monster by Aaron Blabey. It is a great story about being kind moderation. Welcome to the end of the 8th week of library story times and checkout. We have book fair this week and next week, so the week almost ended before I could publish my blog post. I videoed a read aloud for classes to play in the classroom of the SCPBA nominee The Chicken Who Couldn't by Jan Thomas. It is an amazing story about how believing in yourself can help you achieve great things in life.

Our read aloud this week is Bedtime Bonnet by Nancy Redd. It is a great story that teaches you that while your hair care routine may be different from someone else's routine, that is okay. Our hair is like us, perfect no matter if it curly, straight, long, short, or somewhere in between. We should embrace our differences. It is also a SCPBA nominee. Our first graders have begun checking out from the shelves with a shelf marker. They are super excited to select from a broader selection than just the top of the shelves and a table. In a few weeks they will have the entire picture book section to choose from. We will be setting up at the end of this week for the book fair. The Bedford Falls Book Fair will be open from October 11th-20th. We will also be open the night of Trunk or Treat on October 14th. |
