Welcome to week 31 in the library. We have finished spring break and are winding up the school year. It is hard to believe we have gotten this far. I am on the SCPBA committee, and I am currently reading the 197 titles to help narrow it down to the best 20 for the year. The story we are reading this week, is one of those possible nominees, so it must remain nameless at this time. The students are enjoying it and getting to draw themselves going on an adventure.
First grade has moved into checking out from the Nonfiction section of the library. Next week we will move into the Fiction section and then they can check out from the entire library after that. We have been working on finding good fit books for ourselves by stopping and reading a page of the book before checking out. Kindergarten is checking out from 4 shelves at the moment. I am slowly giving them more titles to choose from as they figure out what they like to read. We began with 1 shelf as they learned how to use a shelf marker and place the books with spines facing outward on the shelf back where they belong. Then we moved to 2 shelves, and now we are at 4. In a few weeks they will be choosing from the entire picture book section, and are so excited. This time of year not only are flowers blossoming, but so are our students as readers. They get into their groove and begin to find authors, series, and genres that they love. These are the stories they will remember when they become adults and share with their own children. Please keep them reading this summer!
