We've had a busy three weeks in the library since the school year started!

Ms. Bery has spent time introducing herself to the students, and getting to know them as well - we had a great question and answer session during the first library time with pre-K through 4th grade.  We also read the book Sky Color by Peter Reynolds in every elementary class.  Our goal for this year in library is to learn, grow, explore and create in lots of different ways, just like Marisol, the main character in this story.

In week 2, we focused on expectations for behavior in library. Pre-K-2nd grade explored the question "what if everybody did that?" after reading the book of the same title.  In 1st and 2nd grades, and we even came up with our own lists of library expectations. Common expectations included "make smart choices," "respect others," and "turn our listening ears on." Ms. Bery feels confident that these expectations will help us have a wonderful year in library.

3rd and 4th graders got a kick out of the book The Secret Knowledge of Grownups, by David Wisnewski. We laughed at the idea of man-eating vegetables and live mattresses, leaping from mountain to mountain, had a great discussion on whether he book was fact or fiction.

We've also begun to use our new library centers.  Library centers are educational but fun activities that students can do after they've checked out their books or if they forgot to bring their books back.  Ms. Bery plans to change the centers every few weeks, but the first station was called "Animals Should Definitely NOT Check Out Books!" Ms. Bery gave a presentation during library about why animals should not check out books (ex: whales should not check out books because a book would always get wet with a whale).  Students then got to think of their own examples and illustrate them at the stations - there are some really creative students at Carlisle! Check out some of their wonderful work on the bulletin board.
