It’s snow time to be missing a bookmark! We made some for our classes who read All You Need for a Snowman and 10 Little Christmas Presents. We think they are very nice and hope that they stick around without leaving a trace in our library books. Singing Frosty the Snowman is not mandatory while making these but does seem to make you do your best job.
Play along, using the library resources you can know if each of these “facts” is the real deal or just turkey talk! Click the image below for the google slide deck.
In October spooky subjects go well with the mood (and you don’t even have to mention the H word if you can’t). We read Time for Dinner on epic which featured a spider and then followed up with a nonfiction spider selection to discuss their body parts, parts of a food chain, and more. A google slide with predator and prey relationships for students to analyze was a quick wrap before we moved on.
Literary pursuits completed, we turned to singing songs and making finger print art. Because the library visit is not complete without music and MESS. If you’re going to sing a spider song, it’s fun to add different adjectives and change itsy bitsy up! Kids love singing about a giant, hairy spider instead, and then making one.
