Claypit Hill School Library

I am excited to be teaching my thirteenth year at Claypit Hill School! This newsletter is updated monthly and will provide a quick glimpse into what all grades are learning about in library. There is much more information on my web site, and the link is provided below.

A season for reading!

For lots more information including book lists, award winners, content area web sites,  library schedule, and links to our library catalog and reference tools, please see Ms. Burman's website.

Every student visits the library once a week with their class, and many students also visit independently.

Kindergarten
 students have noticed details of nonfiction texts.  We continue to use books to discuss the importance of reading.
First graders have been learning about the parts of a book, and have looked closely at nonfiction text features.
Second grade are focusing on the parts of a story: characters, setting, plot, problem and solution.
 Third graders have been focused on book genres.  We have taken a detailed look at humor, poetry, biographies and fantasy.
Fourth graders completed a research project using the San Diego Zoo web site.
Fifth graders created Amazon book reviews and/or commercials for a book of their choice.
