A Day in the Library -- Grades K28 -- Part 3

Gr. 7/8:
Book Club: Grade 8 had testing so only Grade 7 could come to library this Wednesday. So we couldn’t select a book group book -- we will have to wait until Feb.6th.
Media Lab: None of the kids had researched their topics . . . so next time we will do it during the media lab time. I am going to change the model of the media lab. We will now do everything during school time. We will have more computers available in the lab and I will have steps done and will present them.
Tasks on the computer will be:
­— working in the sandbox to create type effects.
— finding other schools that we want to model out entry on.
— writing our entry on the smart board.

Gr. 6:
We couldn’t meet this week because of testing.
Book Club: Feb 6 we will select a date for the book club discussion.
Media Lab: We will talk about the different topics they researched. We will look at examples of kids reporting news stories. The kids will start thinking of what their studio name will be.

Gr. 5:
Book Club: Feb 6 we will select a date for the book club discussion.
Media Lab: I read Rumpelstiltskin. We discussed animation and I will give them packets with scrap of a rooster so that they can start to think about what he will look like. We didn’t assign “jobs” yet -- it was too early in the process to do that. Feb 6 I will bring in clay and wire and we will start working on the rooster maybe even film it’s creation. I will also give them their own flip books to experiment with.

Gr. 4:
I read Aesop’s Fables and let them guess the moral. Fun!

Gr. 3:
More Greek Myths.

Gr. 2:
Happily read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Gr. 1:
