Good Afternoon!

Today, we welcomed Miss Kim! We spent the entire morning getting to know her and showing her around the classroom! We are SO excited she’s here.

The PRE-K/K group took a trip to the library this morning. Once we got to the children’s section, each child got to pick out three books to check out. During the exploration phase, children took their time looking for three books that they wanted. A few friends asked where their favorite books were so we went on a hunt for them.

This lead into a discussion about how books are categorized at the library. We all gathered together in the ‘B’ section and a few friends quickly pointed out that they saw a lot of ‘B’s on the book. I told them that the part of the book they were referring to is called the spine of the book. A conversation was started about how the librarian categorizes the books by the author’s last name. So all of the books that we were looking at were written by an author that had a last name that started with ‘B’!

K.1.19: Learn and apply knowledge of alphabetical order (first letter) when using a classroom or school library/media center. (2006 standard)

This intrigued children as they started looking on the spine of their books that they had chosen. Friends compared their books with one another, sharing what letter they had on the spine of their books.

Our favorite part was probably checking out the books that we picked out! It allows us to take responsibility for them which we LOVE!

We had a great library experience where we learned about how librarians categorize the books. Maddie commented, “Well that makes it easier so I know where to find my favorite books!”—that’s the idea
