This Week in the Library: January 21-23

Even though this was a short week there was a lot going on in the library!

Primary Classes (K-3)

We read "A Place for Bats" by Melissa Stewart.  The book talks about the many dangers bats face and how we can help them survive and thrive.  Students were asked, "How can we protect bats?" and "Should we attract bats to our yards?" There were some lively discussions.

Want to find out more about bats?  You might want to check out a book about bats from the library. They are located at 599.4 in the Classified section.

Here are some web resources: Erin Gillam-Bat Biologist       Bat Conservation International      San Diego Zoo Animals - Bats

Note: 1st grade and Mrs. Cook's kindergarten did not have library this week due to the MLK Holiday.  Their books will be due Mon., 1/27.

4th Grade

Continued working on putting books in order using the Dewey Decimal System.  This week we sorted call numbers to the tenths place.  Next week we will add numbers to the hundredths place.  Dewey Information Review

5th Grade

Continued working on determining fact and opinion.  Students worked in groups to decide whether a statement was a fact or an opinion.  Each group shared the reasons why they came up with their decision to the rest of the class.

6th Grade

We reviewed finding information from timelines.  Several examples of timelines were shown.  Students were reminded that they can use timelines to find information for research projects.  Reading a Timeline Review
