Welcome to the week of Oct . 22nd - Oct 26th.

The books for this week are "Hello Moon" our fiction book and "The Moon," our non-fiction book. Ask your child what their favorite part of each book was!
Also, ask them how they know the difference between fiction and non-fiction.

There will be subs for me the next few weeks. A special thank you to them and our Head Librarian, Ms. Donna who oversees 4 other schools and who was there on Monday and will be there on Thursday as well.
I will keep you updated weekly on what we are reading and would encourage you to Google the stories and authors to see what these fabulous books are all about. Your child may also know because they are such awesome listeners!

Welcome to the week of October 1st-5th.

The book I read this week was called "Bedtime Without Arthur." In this story Bella, a little girl about 6, believes that her teddy bear, Arthur, keeps her from having bad dreams by being there for her. So when Arthur goes missing, the first night Bella imagines all sorts of bad monsters are out to get her so her imagination runs wild!!!! (We talked about how monsters are made up when the author uses his/ her imagination to create something like monsters that is not real. We have been learning about the difference between Fiction and Non- fiction and review every week before they pick a book out to take home.) By the second night her imagination is out of control and she ends up running into her little brother's room so she is not alone and guess what she finds next to him in his crib??? Ask you preschooler what Bella decides to do when she discovers where Arthur is found and how the story ends!!!

. . . until next week!

Welcome to the Week of Sept 10th-14!

This week we read" fill a bucket."This book is truly sensational. We read about how we are all born with an invisible bucket and how we can fill it up by things we do or things people do for us. Simple things like a smile or Thank you helps fill up your bucket. We used real buckets and each took turns taking things out of our bucket and then filling it up. We also listened to the "fill a bucket" song on you tube! Ask your preschooler what they put in the bucket.
Sorry this was late, teachers and our Head Librarian filled in for me. I was out a couple of days.
Stay tuned for this week's book . It will be posted later today .

Welcome Fairview preschooler's and families to the 2018 - 2019 school year!
We had our first week of Library this week with the exception of our Monday classes.
We learned about taking care of books when we take them home and we also read our first story of the school year,"Clifford Goes to Dog School."This book was about how Clifford learns to do different tricks and how well he listens to commands he is taught. One command he ends up disobeying to save a life. Ask your preschooler what happened at the end of the story.
We also learned about fiction,nonfiction and who the author was and what his/her job is and who the Illustrator is and what his/her job is .We also learned that some can be both the author and illustrator.
We also checked out our first book.
See you all next week! I look forward to a fun filled year and hope if your preschooler doesn't love hearing stories as much as I like reading them that they will by the end of the year!
