Ms Creeper

Miss Smith and the Haunted Library by Michael Garland is always fun to read! The librarian of the 'haunted library' is named Virginia Creeper. Ms Creeper is a little old lady with blue hair, lips and fingernails.  Wish I could say the children were shocked to see their librarian with blue hair.

Fiction or Non-Fiction....

I love this time of year to teach the children about fiction and non-fiction books.  I read Bats at the Ballgame  by Brian Lies, it is a fun book to discuss 'make believe' (fiction) books. Then I read a non-fiction bat book and we discuss the difference between fiction, books we read for fun, and non-fiction, books we read to learn more about something.

Oh no, the Laminator!!!

Had a great time today at the Book Harvest in Pell City, thanks to David Burrows! I was able to meet Mike Thaler, author of the Black Lagoon books! He had a wonderful presentation and I was very fortunate to hear my librarian friends present as well. Was great to visit with librarians from across the state and Georgia! A great group to be associated with, proud to be a librarian!

Be Cool About Fire Safety!
We read No Dragons for Tea: Fire Safety for Kids (and Dragons) by Jean Pendziwol. Of course I could not teach fire safety without dressing up as a fire fighter! Sparky the fire dog visited us on Friday along with the Albertville Fire Department!!

Johnny Applseed

Well good ole Johnny Appleseed made his appearance! Teaching the children about apples and the life cycle of the apple tree. What a fun week.
To end the week the Chicka Chicka tree visited each classroom on Friday. The classes had been learning letters all week and what better way to celebrate than a visit from the ABC tree.
Had a great book fair!
Next up a recycling super hero!

Pajama day is the best!

This week we read Llama Llama Red Pajama  by Anna Dewdeny, and of course I had to wear red pajamas all week! Thursday was Jumpstart Reading/Read for the Record so everyone on in school wore pajamas and we had a real baby llama come visit our school! Our music teacher sang the book to all the students, I read the book all week and then on Thursday our Reading Coach read it and did an activity with all the students, so every child heard the story three times! We were singing 'llama, llama red pajama' all week long!! What a great book for Jumpstart Reading, we had a lot of fun!!!
