Better late than never I say! I want to share with families what we've been up to in library! Students in 1st grade learned to read with expression in library using the book Ah ha! by one of my favorite authors for this age, Jeff Mack. This book only has three words (Ah ha! Aahh! and Haha!) so you really have to pay close attention to the characters' expressions to figure out how to read the story expressively. Students read the story to me, so I could relax a bit. Students also identified how the characters felt in a graphic organizer after reading. So much fun! In 1st grade exploratory, we worked with graph paper to show data (number information) about how many "cooties" there were on each page of Even Monsters. In 5th grade, students reviewed vocabulary they learned while earning their Digital Passport with CommonSense Media. We did this using a game called Kahoot! The game takes some getting used to, but once we settled in, kids loved it. Students also asked me to enable all the games on Digital Passport so they can play them in their free time. I thought that was super promising! Students are really starting to internalize ideas about responsible cyber citizenship.
