Last week we were on vacation. This week was ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) testing for the entire school. 6th, 7th, and 8th grade missed library this week because of testing. Next week we will post the 6th grade “Titanic” segment. The kids haven’t seen it yet . . . they can’t wait -- it is fantastic!
Gr. 5:
We looked at our scores on Book Adventure and since one of the students scored over 500 she got to pick out a candy bar. We talked about the Bremin Town Musicians and decided to break it up into 3 segments -- so now we have more time to plan. Next week we will work on scenery and figures for the 1st segment.
Gr. 4:
This week a boy chose D’aulaires Book of Greek Myths for the second week in a row. We read about Io.
Gr. 3:
This week a boy chose to read So You Want to Be President? by Judith St. George (Caldecott Medal 2001) This was a great choice! None of us had read it before and we all liked it. It has lots of interesting tidbits about our presidents and the pictures are great.
Gr. 2:
We read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This week’s chapter was Peter’s First Battle. Very exciting. No one was talking, moving, or tapping during this chapter -- everyone was on the edge of their carpet squares!
Gr. 1:
We read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. This is not one of my favorites but the kids love it.
Gr. K:
We read Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Everyone loved it but they thought it was too short. In the future I will read this one in the beginning of the year.

hi mrs ordahl its christian one of your old library student i am just posting this message thing because i want you to sned me the viking segment so i can post it on my youtube account if you allow that thanks by
Hi Christian!
I hope you are having a great summer! The Viking video can not be posted on YouTube because their are other kids in your class who may not want the video to become public. You can post a link to the video that is online already and then give the password to family and friends to go and view it. You can find the link and password hints on this blog for all the segments we shot. The Vikings was very good and you should be very proud of it.
Keep in touch and good luck next year!
Mrs. Ordahl

Could be confusing. . .Logging in with my iPhone was easier to hit anonymous and not log in. But . . . Anyone could have left the previous comment -- but it was me!
