Week of February 18th



Kindergarten
Kindergarten only had book checkout this week due to the day off on Monday. We will be voting for our favorite Monarch book next week.

First Grade
The students were introduced to a book called Chicks and Salsa by Aaron Reynolds. They listened to the story read on the show Between the Lions (PBS) in which the lions discuss the book as well as read it. Afterwards we sequenced the story while playing a game of “I have Who Has Chicks and Salsa.” After finishing the game students had a chance to find an appropriate book of their choosing in the library with some assistance. 

Second Grade

In Second grade this week we read the story Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds. This is one of Aaron Reynolds newest books. A tale not too creepy, but just a little mysterious. Students loved the twist ending in which the carrots had a plan all along to get the greedy rabbit, Jasper, to stop eating them. Afterwards the students responded to the story by drawing on a class mural.
