It is week 16 of library checkout and storytimes. This week we are reading How To Catch A Snowman by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton.
We are still talking about Fiction and Nonfiction and how Fiction is a story that is created from the author's mind to entertain us and Nonfiction is to teach you something. We talk about how the title makes it seem like you will be learning how to catch a snowman, so you would think it is Nonfiction, but it isn't. We are talking about how to figure out reasons that prove it is a Fiction story. In this title, the snowman talks, runs away from kids, and thinks through his actions, so we know it is not a true story because snowmen really don't do those things. Today also began our Gnome scavenger hunt. The first class in each grade to find all of the gnomes and figure out why gnomes like to hang out in the library will receive a special class treat from the cafeteria. So far 3 teachers have said how much fun their students are having. I hope they enjoy the hunt each day for more gnomes.
