Week 1 |
Aug 22-26
In each class we read the book Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen and illustrated by Kevin Hawkes.
Throughout the book each class stopped to discuss how the story line and characters in the story were similar to our school library. When Lion makes a mistake he is given a second chance to do better. It is really important that we all know and understand we make mistakes and it's great to try again. This was a great introduction into why we have rules before we had an in depth discussion about the rules that we have in our school library to keep us safe and to show respect. Core Connection
