NASHVILLE

Welcome to my Library Class webpage.

Here is a summary of our lessons/activities in library:

In August –

• Our School’s theme this year is “NPS – Where Great Stories Begin”.  My bulletin board is a play on the Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme, There Was an Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe.  I turned the shoe house into a shoe school and the “many children” into pictures of my students from the last 36 years! 
• ALL GRADES started out the year learning and/or reviewing the library rules and procedures.  We also talked about how important it is to try to come to school each day with a good attitude.  We read I Got the School Spirit by Connie Schofield-Morrison.  The book has several onomatopoeia words in it.  These are words that stand for a noise or sound.
• Third Grade students reviewed how books are arranged on the shelves in each section of the library.  They will begin the year by checking out books from the Easy Fiction section in the library.  Other sections will be opened one at a time throughout the semester.  We watched two short videos about The Library and Using the Internet. 
• Second Grade students are reviewing how books are arranged on the shelves in each section of the library.  They will begin the year by checking out books from the Easy Fiction section in the library.  Other sections will be opened one at a time throughout the semester. We watched The Magic School Bus Gets Programmed. 
• First Grade students are learning how books are arranged on the shelves in each section of the library.  They will begin the year by checking out books from the Kindergarden section in the library since we did NOT get to check out books last year because of COVID.  Other sections will be open one at a time throughout the semester.  They watched Arthur’s Lost Library Book/D.W.’s Imaginary Friend. 
• Kindergarten students are learning that books are fun.  They will begin the year by looking at books at the tables in the library.  They will start checking out books next semester. They watched A Magical Journey Through the Library.
