Unfortunately the book club, has fallen to the wayside due
to scheduling conflicts. I hope to revive the group in the summer when
scheduling may be a bit easier. Several students still are very interested.
This month, I focused on getting the library organized. With
the book festival coming, a large donation and Title 1 books coming in, I
needed to make sure the library was organized and behind-the-scene tasks were
attended to. This included circulation, reporting, physically organizing books
and weeding old books.
I was able to create a new mini unit on prevention and
choices with Ms. R’s class. I read them the book, Alexander’s Terrible,
Horrible, No-good, Very Bad Day. I then presented the class with visual
representations of each ‘terrible’ thing that happened to Alexander. We then
worked together to identify if each thing was ‘preventable’ or ‘inevitable’. Of
course the ensuing message is that ~90% of the events were preventable. We then
had a discussion about prevention in their own lives.
Later in the month, we read several Eric Carle stories and
utilized a kit to create our own Eric Carle style artwork. We presented the art
to Ms. R.
