The week of October 25th will be library classes for PK-K-1st grades. In celebration of the approaching Halloween holiday next weekend, we will be doing Halloween-y activities in the library and reading Halloween books as we learn the differences between fiction and nonfiction books.
PK and PPCD/EE will read Big Pumpkin and make bats as props to use when they share the story with someone at home. Kindergarten students will read Pumpkin Jack and Pumpkin: from seed to plant and will complete a worksheet that requires them to recall the details from the story and the life cycle of a pumpkin. Students will be able to identify the characteristics of nonfiction and fiction books.

First graders will read Skeleton Hiccups and My Bones and Muscles. We will compare the two books and discuss the characteristics of nonfiction and fiction books then the children will work in groups to sort a stack of books into fiction and nonfiction piles. The children will listen to a cassette recording of the book/song Dem Bones while creating their own skeletons with Q-tips following the sequence that the bones as they are mentioned in the song.
My husband, Paul, and I will be attending our very first Halloween costume party on Saturday night. We are dressing as a Civil War soldier and southern belle, respectively. Pictures to come!
