Winding down...

Our year in the library is coming to a close.  I enjoy this time of the year and the excitement of summer and days off, while at the same time I am sad to see my 5th graders move on!  It is a challenging part of the year to wrap things up and also to keep everyone engaged til the end!

This week I am enjoying reading This is a Moose by Richard T. Morris to my kindergarten and first graders.  We are talking about speech bubbles and dreams for the future, both of which run rampant in this book.  The kids are really enjoying it and I have had some very interesting future job choices from them - doctor, police officer, veterinarian, cleaning lady, amusement park worker, ninja, animal, and a few who want to try all the jobs - hmmm.

My K-1 students have also been enjoying the Duck Duck Moose App Puzzle Pop HD after check out. I love all the Duck Duck Moose apps, especially now that they are free as they have partnered with Khan Academy!  The Puzzle app doesn't disappoint as it has 27 levels to really challenge everyone!  I could just sit and do puzzles all day, but I do have work to do!

My 2nd graders are finishing their year out by recapping some of the things we have learned about how the library is organized.  They have started working with Destiny this year and are starting to get comfortable looking up books.  I also just finished genrefying the fiction section, so they are taking a scavenger hunt through there to make sure they know where to find things now!
