What's Happening In the New Year In Media

We started the New Year off and running with a variety of activities in library media.

Kindergarten was treated to the Book "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. This next week we will be looking at book care as we prepare to begin checking out books following the Scholastic Book Fair.

First and Second graders began a unit on maps. We learned what some of the different types of maps there are, as well as, what we might find on a map to better help us understand reading a map (symbols, key, scale, compass rose) Some of the second graders did a creative writing project that you will see in the hallway as we featured the book "The Mitten Tree" by Candace Christiansen in class. First Graders mapped "The Mitten" by Jan Brett as well as worked on our skills of recall, retell, and sequencing.

Grades 3-5th began making Scholastic Book Fair posters in Microsoft Word to hang in the hallways and send home with younger Harritt/WSLA students. These skills were a review of many of the skills we had learned prior to the Winter Break as they worked on editing skills on Nursery Rhymes.
