Library

We visited the school library for the first time today. We met the librarian Mrs. Moss. Each Thursday we will do a library book exchange. Students can keep their books for up to two weeks. Students have the chance to explore their own interests and find books on topics of their choice. Please read with them through the week and send the books back by Thursday. These books may be something that the student can read or needs an adult to read.

We also did our first partner reading today. Students quietly read to a partner. They did amazing at focusing on reading and enjoying time with a friend.

Partner Reading Rules:
knee-to-knee
choose a book you can read with only a few mistakes
1 book between
quiet voice

At times, it may seem like a solid or a liquid but it acts differently than a normal solid or liquid. Making oobleck is a great science experiment to show how changes in  pressure  can change the...
