Kindergarten
This week students listened to Book! Book! Book! by Deborah Bruss and Wild About Books by Judy Sierra.
First Grade
Students listened to Read Anything Good Lately by Susan Allen and created an I Love Books craft.
Second Grade
We celebrated the joy of books with Miss Smith’s Incredible Storybook by Michael Garland. The story is about Zach, a second grader, who meets his new teacher and is pleasantly surprised at how much fun he has during storytime. Miss Smith reads from an incredible storybook that comes to life as familiar characters pop right out of the book! As I read aloud, the class recognized numerous characters from fairy tales, mother goose rhymes, and the classics. What a great book about books!
Third Grade
Third graders are now podcasting their book reviews. Each student is choosing a book that they have read and enjoyed and will recommend it to others. Just click on the WHB Podcast Program under “Links” and listen to what others are reading!
Fourth Grade
Today fourth graders learned the meaning of a URL and a website address. We talked about different URL extensions such as .com, .org, .net, .mil, and .gov. and the purpose of each extension. Students discussed the kinds of websites they like to visit and realized that most of them end in .com. They now know that .com means “commercial” and that like a T.V. commercial , these kinds of websites are trying to sell you something. Our discussion then led into Internet safety and how we can protect ourselves while using the Internet.
Fifth Grade
Fifth graders are finishing up their Planet research projects. Check out some of the students’ videos and powerpoints on the Library eboard!
