Our third graders took some time this week to think about some things that they'd like to change about themselves this year. Click on the link below to take a look and listen to their videos about their new year's resolutions for 2020.</div>

Kids are no different. How many times can kids read <u>The Book With No Pictures</u> or the same super hero book from last week or the same series that they've checked out a million times before? You'd be surprised! :) We changed things up a bit this week and explored many different types of books that are part of our library collection. How did we do that? We played library musical chairs, of course!<br />

That doesn't stop us, though. We improvise! After reading a book or two about activities in the snow, our Preschool and Pre-K kids got to "ice skate" in the library. We had a blast, and some of the kids even had some fancy moves. :) Enjoy!<br />

This was a voluntary project, and we had a great turnout of some very creative pumpkins. Thank you to everyone who submitted a pumpkin to display in the library! We may have to make this an annual tradition.<br />

The third, fourth, and fifth graders get to take part in an annual tradition of going into the library closet and sitting in the dark to read scary stories. They love it and look forward to it every year! Here is a picture of our fourth graders getting ready to read some of the short stories that could cause goosebumps to break out on their skin and the hair on the back of their necks to stand up. Spooky!<br />

Our Kindergarten classes heard a story about a rabbit named Jasper and some of the weird carrots he encounters in a book called <u>Creepy Carrots</u> by Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown. After listening to the book, the students were able to create some creepy carrots of their own. Here they are showing off their finished products.<br />

Students get to preview the book fair using videos and the online book fair website as well as taking home flyers that include some of the most anticipated books. Here are our third graders showing their surprise to one of the books that really caught their eye.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Our book fair was a huge success! We earned a good amount of Scholastic dollars which will be used to support the library program and to buy some books for the kids to build their own libraries at home. Thank you to all of our families for the great support!</span></div>

Cheers abound when the kids bring their iPads to the library and excitedly ask the question, "Are we playing Kahoot! today?" It's a great way to get all the kids involved and to have them practice their technology skills while reviewing some information and learning new things.<br />

During library time, the students listen to a story, sing some songs, and use the iPads and a mirror to draw themselves. We display the iPad onto the board using our AppleTV so that the whole class can enjoy the artwork.<br />

They had to take turns and work cooperatively to figure out the title, author, illustrator, and call number of their book while also describing the picture on the front cover. They learned about some of our new books, reviewed some important book information, and had a little bit of fun, too!<br />

One of our projects to go along with this was to create our own Blackout Poetry. Third, fourth, and fifth graders viewed different examples of Blackout Poetry online and then chose a book from our Calico Illustrated Classics book collection to create a Blackout Poem of their own. Some chose to create using a more abstract approach while others used their artistic ability to form a picture around their words. I'm impressed with how many of these turned out! Take a look, and be sure to read the poem they created!<br />

Since many of the students discuss and set new year's resolutions in their classrooms, it's always fun to see what kinds of resolutions they would set for book characters if those book characters were able to talk. Here are a few for you to enjoy!<br />

First, we read the book called Iggy Peck, Architect written by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by David Roberts. It's about a boy who is crazy about building things, but has some trouble when he gets to second grade. Don't worry because in the end, he saves the day! After reading the book, the students got to try their hand at building something by using only toothpicks and marshmallows. Check out their awesome structures!<br />

After reading a book or two about having fun in the snow, the students were able to do a little ice skating around the library using wax paper. We even took turns building snowmen, on the iPad of course. Take a look at our video showcasing a couple of the classes.<br />

The book is written from the point-of-view of both a little boy and an ant. It is a great book to show perspective, and the illustrations by Debbie Tilley definitely add to the story. At the end of the book, the authors left the ending up to the reader. <br />
<br />
So, what would you do...squish the ant or save the ant? Let's see what our students decided. <br />

The students worked with a group to find books in our library with certain call numbers on the spine. The call numbers were typed on turkey feathers, and the students had to work together to find books to complete their turkey. They had so much fun doing this and learned how to find books by their call numbers. Here are our second graders working together on their turkeys.<br />

The students looked up information and learned some little known facts about Christmas such as:<br />
<br />
1. When was the first greeting card made?<br />
2. What makes holly berries dangerous?<br />
3. What country did poinsettias originate from?<br />
<br />
We raced against each other to see who could find the answers the fastest. The 5th graders were really good at looking through the information and finding the specific answer to the questions. Here are some pictures of them working through this activity.<br />

After enjoying some Christmas stories back in December, we played a fun video version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer from YouTube. Little did I know what good dancers our Pre-K students are! This was totally unprompted and even surprised me. :) Check out the kids from the class of Ms. Rosanne and Ms. Doris.<br />

Students in Preschool and Pre-K read a book about ice skating, watched a short video of Peppa Pig and her family ice skating, and then got to try out our version of ice skating using wax paper. They had a blast!<br />
<br />
*Please note: The video will be blurry in full screen.<br />

<span class="s1">Each year, the Texas Library Association nominates 20 books to be considered for the Texas Bluebonnet Award. Kids (no adults!) in grades 3-6 are allowed the opportunity to vote for the winner. In order to be eligible to vote, students must read (or have read to them) at least 5 of the nominated books. I have the kids fill out a short review sheet to prove that they read the books. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This year, we had 7 kids earn the right to vote: one 3rd grader, three 4th graders, and three 5th graders. The kids voted for Pizza Hut for their lunch, and we talked about the books and then voted online. These 7 kids were also informed of a little surprise! Sometime this spring, we will be taking a field trip to Barnes and Noble to spend some of the money that we earned last year from our B&N book fair. The kids will be able to pick out books for our library as well as picking out a book of their own. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The Bluebonnet Award is a huge deal in the Texas reading/library world, and it is such an honor for the author and illustrator to be chosen as the winner.<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span>We found out a couple of weeks after we voted that the winner of this year's Texas Bluebonnet Award is Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson. This book was definitely a hit among our readers, too!</span></div>
<div class="p1">

<span class="s1">Here are some pictures from our voting party. Congratulations to them all! I am so proud of them. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Scholastic Book Fair will be at Sunshine Cottage from Monday, November 14 - Thursday, November 17! You don't want to miss out on some of the great books that will be available for you to purchase. Each class will visit the library two times during our book fair. The first visit will be for previewing (and purchasing if kids bring money), and the second visit will be for purchasing. We will also have a family night on Tuesday, November 15 from 5:00pm-7:30pm (before and after the PTG meeting). You can even shop early if you want to browse or purchase from our online store. Here's the link:</span></div>
