Today Kindergarten students practiced retelling a story using toys and puppets. Each week we emphasize different elements of our retelling guide. We have reviewed setting in regards to both place and time, characters, as well as beginning, middle and end stories. Kindergarten students also continue to learn how to check out books independently.

Introducing gaming into the classroom and library has been a trend for the last few years. We've taken a retro approach. Thanks to the generosity of our PTO teachers have an opportunity to check out colorful jenga sets to use in the classroom. Third graders had a great time learing how to play Library Jenga- a fun way to review library skills. After reading A Visitor for Bear by Bonny Becker, first graders explored books from different series in the everybody section today. Is your student not sure what to read next? Check out our Reading Resources page for ideas.
Fourth and Fifth graders had a chance to work with two of our Mobile Makerspace carts. They built circuts and contraptions with the LittleBits. Kids also programmed the KIBO robots. After exploring they also created a short video on Seesaw teaching younger students how to use components of each cart.
All students and staff at Quail Run participated in our Vote for Books election. Our Quail Run citizens did a wonderful job campaigning respectfully for their candidate. Check out the presentation below to see the results of the election for each of the primary grades and the electoral college election.
Students created posters, buttons and even commercials for our Vote for Books election. See them in action in our Animoto Video. Watch their commercials on Flipgrid.
Students in Third, Fourth & Fifth grades listened to Kelly DiPucchio's book Grace for President. After listening to the story which does a nice job of explaining the Electoral College in a kid friendly way, students participated in a voting simulation to see how difference between the popular vote and the electoral college election. |
