Back to School

Welcome back from Spring Break! I'm always excited to get back to school after a long break and I hope the students are ready, too.

This week in the library we will be reviewing library behaviors and expectations. I like to do this each quarter just to make sure everyone knows what my expectations are. After this review we will be reading Adios, Oscar by Peter Elwell. This is a book I got at our most recent book fair. It's a butterfly fable reminding the children that the only limitations on what they can do are those which they place on themselves. Ask your child how Oscar the butterfly was surprised and what he learned in the story.

We are wrapping up the Bookman's challenge this week and I will post final results once I've tallied everything up. The children have done an amazing job and should be extraordinarily proud of themselves!

Next week in the library 3rd-5th graders will get a library skills lesson on using our cataloging system while K-2 will be exploring the many things we can do with our imaginations.

Have a great week!
