After we've check books in and out.
I will ask the students these questions:
Have you ever been called a mean name? How did it make you feel?
While watching today's story I want the students to think about how the monster in our story feels. (Distance learners can upload a video answering these questions.) I've also included a worksheet that has different monsters on it for them to color. Just like us, no two people are the same, we all look different.

After we have checked students' books in and out, I will ask the students to look outside. I'll ask them if they've noticed any changes outside recently. I've noticed the leaves changing colors, at times, the weather feels cooler, and when I'm driving in the car, I see a lot of my neighbors with pumpkins in their yards. These are all clues that we have entered the season of fall. Fall can also be called Autumn.

Today in library, we are going to read two books. One book is fiction, which means fake and the other is non-fiction, which means real.

After students have watched both stories (distance learners will be asked to send me a video telling me about the book that they think is fiction/fake.) I will ask students which book was fake. They will also answer these questions: What color were the dog's spots in this book? What colors are acorns, leaves, and pumpkins? Lastly, how do you know it's fall?
