Let's Take a Trip!

Let's travel to places far away with Bella & Harry a new series added to our IMC!  Bella & Harry is a picture book series that showcase a brother & sister pup team who are traveling the world with their family.  Even though this series is fiction, the books are informative and interactive which is a great way to introduce you to different countries, customs and of course popular landmarks!  There are 14 new titles to choose from!  I hope you will enjoy them as much as I have!

Look what's new in the IMC

2 new series have been added to our chapter book collection.  Calvin Coconut & Puppy Place.  Remember, chapter books have green stickers on the spine.

3 new books about Rosa Park, Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln have been added to non-fiction as well.  These books are told from the child perspective and students will definitely be able to relate to these important people from history.

All of these books are on the bookshelf by the entrance/exit of the IMC.

First Grade Books Available in the IMC

Congratulations to the first grade classes who all published classroom books!  The first grade teachers each donated a copy of their class book which is available to look at in the IMC.  Once books are processed, students will be able to check out the books for check-out.  Each book features a drawing and picture completed by each student in the class!

Internet Safety Kindergarten & Grade 1

Happy New Year!  I'm kicking off 2015 with Internet Safety lessons with kindergartners and grade 1.  With students I discussed how they stay safe and how that applies to being safe when going online.  Common Sense Media is a great website I use to teach students about Internet Safety!  Parents you can use this website as well for some great tips on how to be safe at home.

Students will also be exploring the San Diego Zoo being able to take a virtual field trip to lean about different animals.
