WELCOME TO YOUR Library Page! November 2009 New books, new friends, new learning experiences! There is so much happening at Shrine right now! Our Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success. Thanks to all of the moms who dedicated themselves to providing us with some great new reading material! Our latest additions will be showcased in library classes as they become available for our borrowers. The kindergarten classes continue to learn about the proper way to handle books and ways to respect the library. They are eager to hear their favorite stories as well as new ones. Sharing is an important skill that we are working on. 1st graders will begin borrowing books from the collection this month. They have shown tremendous growth just in the few weeks we have been in school. 2nd graders are working on dictionary skills and locating titles and authors on their selected books. We will be taking a closer look at "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, which allow the reader to choose endings to stories they have read. 3rd grade students are learning about where books are located in the collection. We will be starting to examine non-fiction books and the Dewey Decimal System this month. 4th graders contine to be introduced to the remote book catalog. The idea of finding a book by subject, title, or author, is a skill that will follow them through life. We are also writing summaries on the books that we read, using 6-trait writing skills. 5th graders are selecting books from our 5th/6th grade shelf for the first time. Ask them to share what they select with you. Many new authors are being explored as well. 6th graders are exemplifying good self control in the library. Along with reviewing the remote catalog, they will be taking a close look at the almanac, encyclopedia, and various dictionaries this month. As we approach the holiday season, the library will be focusing on Thanksgiving and Christmas stories. Watch this site for new and exciting events as they develope throughout the school year! Note: Readers Club for 4th and 5th/6th Grades will begin in February! More information will follow. Have some fun.
