This week we talked about fire safety and read No Dragons for Tea: Fire Safety for Kids (and Dragons) by Jean E. Pendziwol. The Albertville Fire Department visited our school. The firefighters put on their turnouts, mask, helmets and oxygen tanks so the students could see and hear how firefighters sound when they fight fires. Please talk about fire safety at home and check your smoke detector.

Let's go GREEN! We read Michael Recycle by Ellie Bethel and decided we all need to do our part and recycle. We have recycled art in our library, Recycle Can Man. Please let your child tell you what he/she learned about recycling.

We are pledging to be green! 

We kicked off our recycle unit this week! Did you know Albertville has a recycle center, go pick up your 'beautiful blue bag' and start recycling today. It is easy and you will be amazed at how much you can recycle.

 "Bat Girl" visits the library and reads Bats at the Library by Brian Lies. A great book! The bats enjoy visiting the library and getting lost in great stories. I wonder if the bats will visit our library?

Whew what a week! We ha a super star visitor in the library for our Book Fair and Grand Open House. Curious George stopped by to read a few books and get in a little mischief!

In our library classes Mr. Wiggle taught us about fiction and non-fiction books. And Franklin the Turtle also reminded us how to take care of our library books.

The library is always fun and we are always learning new and exciting things!!!

We had a special visitor this week in the library, Llama Llama! We read the book llama llama time to share by Anna Dewdney.  Did you know that even grown ups have to share? Llama Llama and Nelly Gnu were fighting over a toy and 'broke' the toy. Mama Llama put the toy up so neither one could play with it until they could share. Ms Millwood thinks that is a great idea and is going to do the same thing in the library with the cool library toys and games. Sharing can be hard at times but it is more fun to share than to do without.

 Not love books?! This week we read one of my favorite books Miss Brooks Loves Books (and I don't) by Barbara Bottner. When I explained that I was the little girl in the book, my favorite quote from a student was, "I thought you loved books, Ms Millwood". I love that I can bring these characters to life and make them so believable. This book is so much fun to read!!
