1st Grade Pumpkin Lesson

10/29/2014

0 Comments

 
The students in Mrs. Ayeni's class participated in a science pumpkin lesson. Students weighed pumpkins, measured pumpkins, counted the ribs, counted seeds, looked at the stings under a microscope, drew and labeled pumpkins, and read books about pumpkins. They used celery and die in water to see the how roots take in water. This was a great morning of pumpkin related centers. The library staff, Mrs. Gonzalez and Mr. Winter collaborated with Mrs. Ayeni to teach students about pumpkins and how they grow.

Kindergarten Comprehension Lesson in the Library

At Terry Elementary the Kindergarten students learned to sequence a story. After reading The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat the students sequenced the story. They colored and cut out the characters from the story. After cutting and gluing the Old Lady to a bag they inserted the characters in the order the story happened. What a simple and fun way to retell a story.

Groups of 2nd and 3rd grade students learned about bats and made fun bat art which now decorates the Terry Library. We read books from our author of the month, Brian Lies, before each of the two day activities. It was a great two days in the Terry Library!

What a fantastic job Terry's Library Technician, Felicia did putting together and directing the play Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. The Intermediate Students who participated did a superb job at presenting the play. The whole school, parents, and special guests were there to watch. Thank you to the special guest wearing the Lilly costume. What a terrific way for Elementary Grade Students to practice being in front of a large audience.

Lessons In and Out of the Library

10/9/2014

Library staff not only provide lessons inside the four walls which contain the collection. You might find us in a classroom teaching researching skills. We might be in the library providing supplemental activities to complement what is learned in the classroom. Here we are providing researching lessons to 2nd grade students. The students are learning about bats. Through collaboration between the library technician, teacher, and teacher librarian we were able to help the students with researching and writing, as well as provided a fun hands on activity to accompany what they are learning. We touched on so many CCSS standards, but here are a few of the main standards taught:
  • W.2.2. Write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points, and provide a concluding statement or section. 
  • W.2.4 With guidance and support from adults, produce writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task and purpose. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1–3 above.) CA
  • W.2.10 Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences. CA

Lilly visited Indianola to take part in a story reading of her book Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. She handed out books for every student to take home from the United Way Book Bank. It was very exciting for her to visit all of the upper grade classrooms.
