May 2019

This month in library…

Kindergarteners are listening to stories about gardening with a few more trickster tales mixed in.  We will also be reviewing fiction and nonfiction.

Grade 1 students are finishing their weather research.  We will be doing some activities with maps and folktales from Japan.

Grade 2 students are doing several different activities staggered through April and May.  Throughout the two months they will learn about Digital Citizenship, practice origami, and try their hands at making some Lego robots with our WeDo coding program.

Grade 3 is working on a Media Literacy unit in which they will study toy ads.  We will be talking about the persuasive techniques advertisers use and they will be tasks with identifying these in ads.

Grade 4 students are working on research skills in a variety of activities throughout the month.

Grade 5 students are also getting the opportunity to try out some coding.  They are using on off-line version of MIT’s Scratch program.  They will write a program to teach a library skill and then record it as a tutorial.
