First Full Week of Library

We read a lot of great books this week in the Highland Library.


Third grade students listened to Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book by Lauren Child, which in a mixed-up twisted way helped us to understand why it is so important to take care of books.  The characters don't like getting spilled on, written on, crossed out or cut out of our books!!  So beware if you  make a mess of your book the characters may just take their own revenge! 


If you are a first grade student you listened to me read Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell.  Molly Lou is small, sings out-of-key and has some lovely buck teeth but she's received good advice from her grandma about being proud of herself and it gets her through when a classmate teases her. 
Fourth and Fifth grade students learned how to use their shelf markers and the sections of the library.  Their focus was to find two good fit books for reading.  They were excited to pick new books and are ready for a great new year!
