Wonderful Week (our week in review)

Our week started off wonderful as Technology spent time helping us get our lab back to being stable for student use again. Our break from the projects in the lab was fulled with fun, laughter and learning as we did the following activities.



Grades 2-5 met author Cynthia Rylant via an author video. She has authored many great books for a wide range of readers and library has a great collection of her titles for all ages. Now we can put a face with a name and know a little bit more about this wonderful childrens author.



The 3-4 grades were exposed the the Beverly Cleary Award named after one of Oregons most well know authors. The students heard about the history of this award and learned about last years winner of the Beverly Cleary Award and got to see and hear about each of this years nominees. Down Girl and Sit Smarter then Squirrels by Lucy Nolan was the book we read this week as an introduction to this years Beverly Cleary nominees.

Upper grades spent time doing a library classroom scavenger hunt as they located reference books to answer questions as well as locating other books in various parts of the library and different authors located though out the library. This was a fun activity we will have to visit again. I was also able with some of the upper grades to spend time doing a short book talk about recent books I had read in hopes that someone might be inspired to read one of the recent title I had read.
