Peacock Fanciness!

We read Limelight Larry by Leigh Hogkinson, then we were little show offs ourselves! The K5 students decorated their own peacock feather and Larry looked fabulous when we put them all together!

Library, month 3

We are having fun with authors and genres this month!

2nd grade is exploring the Fairy Tale genre and it's characteristics.  They really enjoyed The Three Ninja Pigs.  It was fun to compare this version to the original Three Little Pigs. We also had fun with writing our class fairy tale mad-lib.

1st grade is practicing their re-telling skills with the many versions of Lucille Colandro's "There Was an Old Lady" books.  We are also incorporating some art into our library time and creating our own little old bag ladies. Students can them re-tell the stories at home!


Kindergarten is reading books by author and illustrator Leigh Hodgkinson.  Her artwork is very engaging and her stories make the kids SMILE!  Check out our smiles!
