Preschool kids listened to a book called Ghost in the House this week. It is a super cute ghost story and the kids loved it!
AK kids listened to another cute story about a ghost called Boo Who?. This is one of the new books that came in last week!
I showed some ABC books to the kindergartners this week. We read Z is for Moose together as a class. My hope was to start writing our own ABC book, but we didn't quite get that far yet. We'll see if we have time coming up!
First graders listened to Boo Who? as well, and then picked out a non-fiction book that they thought looked interesting. We looked for the title page, table of contents, glossary, and index.
Second graders were supposed to be working on poetry, but I just couldn't resist the urge to read a creepy story. I gave each class the choice between Creepy Carrots and a new book called The X Files. Yeah, those X Files. This new kids book is seriously so amazing. So good that I actually read it to third grade as well.
After reading, I showed second graders the Halloween magnetic poetry Google doc. We talked about haiku patterns in poems, and wrote one together. Next week, they'll do this independently in computer lab.
Third graders were still working on questioning skills, so after we read The X Files, we talked about what questions they had after reading. We had some questions about the book, but then I asked what questions they have about real life based on the book. We had some questions about aliens. I showed the kids the website Wonderopolis and how to use it to answer questions we have. They spent some time looking up something of interest to them.
Fourth graders are still reading Ivan, and even though I had planned for more activities, we just couldn't stop reading!
Next week, we'll watch the book fair promo video--the book fair will be November 7-10!
