Over the summer, we are remodeling a bit...both in the library and on the blog! Stay tuned for a new look as we prepare to start a new school year in the WTN Library.

Here at WTN, we're wrapping up the school year. Here's what we've been working on during the last few weeks of school in Pk through 1st grade: In PreK, we've been reading about the crazy adventures of Fly Guy, a series of early chapter books by Tedd Arnold. Fly Guy has gotten lost in a garbage dump while playing hide-and-seek with his friend Buzz, met a very special lady named Fly Girl, and has gone on a frightening field trip with Buzz's class. We always look forward to what Fly Guy will do next, as well as how often he will add his trademark "zzzzzzz" to the end of the words he says! In Kindergarten we've been learning about diaries and journals, and reading a variety of different examples. We started off with Diary of a Worm, and progressed to Diary of a Spider and Diary of a Fly (all by Doreen Cronin). We've even been writing our own diaries about great days we've had. In 1st grade we've been reading tall tales, stories that "stretch the truth" about human strength and the origin of many U.S. landmarks. For example, did you know that Paul Bunyan's wife Carrie created Old Faithful by poking holes in the ground in Wyoming in order to find some hot water to do the dishes and laundry? We learned that one in The Bunyans by Audrey Wood and illustrated by David Shannon. |
