ULTIMATE BOOK
CHALLENGE
One hundred and eighteen
students as well as ten teachers
are busy reading for the Ultimate
Book Challenge. All of our
dedicated readers come to the
library weekly for our UBC
Lunch Bunch practice sessions.
They are so committed that they
are even willing to practice
during recess!
LITERATURE
CONNECTIONS
Students are connecting and having
fun with literature. Second graders
danced with Pete the Cat on Rock
Your School Day. First Graders
learned about book care with The
Pigeon . PACEE students made
purple yarn sculpure with Harold
and and his purple crayon, and
second graders practiced reading
fluencing with Night of the Veggie
Monster reader's theatre.
Curriculum Connections
Storybook character dress up day and Mary Poppins centers
in the library gave second grade students an opportunity to
review lessons of the week like creating original
constellations, finding as many of their spelling words as
they could in the word "supercalafrajalistickexpialadousjus"
and using standard and nonstandard measurements to
measure "chim chimneys". Other curriculum connections
made in the library included fifth grade book tastings by
genre and third grade's Poetry Cafe.
PROBLEM
SOLVING
BREAKOUTS
We love using Breakout Boxes for
problem solving. Fifth grade
students had to break their
library cards out of the box.
Fourth graders had a monster of
a challenge discovering the
combinations to their "It's Alive"
Breakout game.
