This month focused on library upkeep and maintenance. I
worked with a student volunteer to label the spines of books for easy student
access. I also worked to process new book donations into the collection.
From the suggestion of Ms. A., I organized a student
book club. I identified about 10 students to participate. I have sent official
invitations and coordinated snacks and teacher volunteers. We will be having
our first meeting at the beginning of February.
With Ms. R’s class we read If You Give A Mouse A
Cookie and If You Give A Moose A Muffin. After reading these two books, we
wrote our own story, If You Give A Hyena A Ham Sandwich. We worked on
re-creating the structure of the book, analyzing the logic between the chains
of events and illustrating our own story-line. The book has been published and
distributed around the school. A copy resides in the library.
I have also continued to work on the planning of the Book
Festival. There is an opportunity to have Ellen Hopkins speak at school during the Book Festival week. This is a huge draw for many students who love
her work. I will be planning and executing her visit with Jennifer Perry.
