What's Happening at the BSS Library?

6th graders have had a chance to read some Christmas stories out loud to their classes.  A fun way to practice reading with expression, and it was nice for me to have the "day off!"

We've been having a little fun in Library class, taking some sELFies! Even Mr. Spillman got in on the action!

We talked about fairy tales in Kindergarten, and how the stories usually begin with "Once upon a time" and end up "and they all lived happily ever after."  We read Little Red Riding Hood a few weeks ago, and this week we read about the Three Little Pigs.  I have a fun version of the book which includes a mini stage and finger puppets of the 3 pigs and the Big Bad Wolf.  Students were encouraged to recreate the story with the puppets and also with some felt pieces from the story.  Other students challenged themselves to create a nice strong house of bricks from blocks.
