We had an exciting start to the school year in the Meyer library! So many new things to explore and learn, so many new faces to welcome to the building, and so many books to read together!
All students in both Pre-K and K got to begin the school year by learning about all the different things we do can do in the library, and one of those things is to build on the Lego walls!
All Meyer students also learned how to check out library books! It's always a special day when students get to check out their first books from the Meyer library.
Pre-K students started their first unit, "All About Me." We read books about school, feelings, family, and more! After reading the book That's Not My Name! by Anoosha Syed, students drew their own faces and 1 thing that is special about themselves.
Pre-K students also drew pictures of how they were feeling that day after reading the book Rita and Ralph's Rotten Day by Carmen Agra Deedy.
Pre-K students started their fall unit at the end of the month, and we kicked it off with full-day Pre-K students experiencing some fall-themed building centers. They built scarecrows, pumpkins, apple trees, and more with several different building materials.
Once a month, Kindergarten students will participate in a STEAM activity instead of checking out books. Our first STEAM activity was all about the classic book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. Students worked together in small groups to build their own letter trees, draw the finished product, and then count the letters on their tree and write the number on their paper. They did a great job working as teams!
I'm looking forward to a fun-filled school year with all our Meyer Shining Stars! Check back here next month to see everything we will be doing in the library in October.
