Did you now …? Today (Oct.4) is National Taco Day?
Did you know Dragons Love Tacos ? We read all about it in one of this week’s read alouds by Adam Rubin. This very funny story tells all about just how much Dragons love tacos. But dragons hate spicy salsa … Uh-oh, what are those green specs in that jar of salsa?
Recess Readers continue. It’s a great opportunity to explore all sort of different books and discuss them with your friends. You can read alone or read together. You can read out loud or read in your head. You can read however you like! This week, we also started having ScannerLady or ScannerGuy in charge of helping Ms. Hayward check out the books.
Did You Know …? Tuesday (Oct1) was National Homemade Cookie Day. Coincidentally, it was also our first Bake Sale of the year. One of our grade 6s used a library cookbook to bake for the sale and they were so good that they were gobbled up before we could get a picture! What’s your favourite cookie?
Did You Know …? Wednesday (Oct2) was Custodial Worker Recognition Day.
A huge Thank You for all you do!
Yesterday (Oct3), I was invited to do a little workshop on Citations with the grade 5s. It’s very important to cite who/where you get ideas/art/words from. [Author, Title, Publisher, Year, Pages] You can check out the Write It, CITE it! page here for tips on what to do.
And finally, another CREATIVE CREATION – Some crunchy slime from Karina Garcia’s Next Level DIY Slime found in the 740s.
Today was also one of my favourite Librarian days- The TD Grade One Book Giveaway!
Every year TD Bank and The Canadian Children’s Book Centre give a Canadian book to every grade one student. This year the book is My Heart Fills with Happiness by Monique Gray Smith. This beautiful book is a dual language book in both English and Plains Cree. Enjoy!
