LIBRARY SMILES
Every week in the library I see around 380 children from the ELC – Year 6. They are all gorgeous and have lovely manners – well done to fabulous parents, grandparents and significant others.
A big thank you also to the parents who consistently remind their children to pack their library bags – Amen.
To begin the school year, we spent the first three weeks in each grade level unpacking “The How and Why” of the Library. We talked about Early Fiction, Older Fiction and Non Fiction. Mr Dewey is mentioned and the alphabet becomes a big part of our lessons. Essential Agreements were discussed and documented. Every week we read, discuss and complete work on a selection of fabulous books that tie in with the various UOI.
We have looked at: relationships and behaviour, having a balanced lifestyle, unique characteristics that we all have, decisions and the action we take and finally discussed books that deal with boundaries, relationships and behaviour.
