While K-2 has been reading 2x2's, Third, Fourth, and Fifth graders have been working on the Bluebonnet books. We've heard one story read aloud to give all students in those grades the opportunity to take the Bluebonnet survey to get one book closer to becoming members of the Bluebonnet Book Club. To be part of the Bluebonnet Book Club 3-5 students have to read 5 of the 20 Bluebonnet books (2 must be chapter books), and complete the survey. Bluebonnet Book Club members will also receive a brag tag and have their name announced either on the Taylor Talk News or at GMT (whichever one is closer to them completing their requirements). Once they're members of the club they get to vote on their favorite book in January and have a party!
Second through Fifth graders also had a refresher course on what to do if they need to come to the library, by themselves, to check out books when it's not their library week. They've been doing a great job taking care of their business without interrupting other classes! Great job Taylor Readers!!
This week marks a milestone in Kindergarten-the first time they were able to shop from the shelves after lots of practice table shopping and using shelf markers to shop from the book cart. They did a fabulous job using their shelf markers, really looking at the inside of the books to see if they were interesting to them, and putting them back correctly if they decided the book wasn't right for them. They were so excited to shelf shop like the "big kids"!
