Tis the Season! The library has a Magic Elf, her name is Heather. Heather loves to read so she is having a great time in our library. She obeys all the library rules and takes very good care of the books she reads.

"Being bullied is not fun. Walk away and tell someone", great advice from llama, llama. This week we reviewed being peacemakers, not peace-breakers.  We read llama, llama and the bully goat by Anna Dewdney. Each class signed a pledge to play nice with others everyday. Together with friends and team work, children built puzzles in the library. Things are so much better with friends!

Be Cool About Fire Safety! We reviewed fire safety this week since the Albertville Fire Department visited last Friday. Be sure to check your smoke detectors this weekend when you set back your clocks!

We had a new librarian this week in the library, Ms. Creeper! She read Miss Smith and the Haunted Library by Michael Garland. We love Miss Smith books, it is always fun to see what characters will come to life and which character will get left behind!

Michael Recycle along with Litter Bug Doug visited BSLK this week. Children learned the importance of not littering and more about recycling. Children are encouraged to recycle at school and to tell family and friends about recycling at home. With Albertville's curb pick up recycling is easy! The Albertville recycling center is also conveniently located downtown Albertville for 24/7 drop off. Please join the students, faculty and staff at BSLK along with the city of Albertville and recycle, reduce and reuse. If you want to become more involved in recycling or  have any questions about what can be recycled please visit the City of Albertville Recycling  or Keep Albertville Beautiful.

RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE

We started our recycling unit this week! I hope everyone starts recycling at home if you do not already. Ask your child, it's easy! We kicked off our unit with Emeraldalicious by Victoria Kann. Every student, faculty and staff member signed a pledge to be green. Rumor has it we will be visited by a recycling super hero next week!!

Do you know the difference between fiction and non-fiction? We learned about all about it with the help from Mr. Wiggle.

 What an incredible week! Miss Smith's Incredible Storybook by Michael Garland is great and even better when read by "Miss Smith"! Learning about characters has never been more fun!
Be sure to check out the book fair! September 15-19, children will shop during their library class time.

This week we learned all about sharing! We read llama llama time to share by Anna Dewdney. We also learned about characters, the job of the author and illustrator.

Dr. Booklove visited the library this week and read What Happened to Marion's Book? by Brooke Berg. Marion did not take very good care of her library book and had to pay to replace the damaged book. Dr. Booklove taught us about taking care of library books. After the lesson students checked out their first library book to take home.

Library is AWESOME

What a great week we had in library! Of course, we had to learn the library rules but then we got to explore the library and play! The best part was meeting our library bat, Battyrella, and Ms. Millwood, wearing cool bat glasses,  read Bats at the Library by Brian Lies.

Nap time is the best time! We survived the first full week of kindergarten!!

This week we took a dive in the ocean! What better way than by reading Miss Smith Under the Ocean by Michael Garland. We love the Miss Smith books, thank you Mr. Garland for writing and illustrating such wonderful books.

Earth Day is April 22, please do your part and help our Earth. We revisited recycling and not littering and keeping our community clean. We made a bulletin board out of junk mail we collect at school for only one week!! We made four trees, only two are in the picture. Please recycle! Albertville has a great recycling center and now with recycling cans at your house and curb pick up it is easy as 1-2-3!!
