We discussed fiction and nonfiction in the younger grades by examining the work of Katherine Applegate author of Newbery medal winner The One and Only Ivan and Ivan, The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla. In some classes we read and discussed the nonfiction The Noisy Paintbox and fictional A Mango Shaped Space.
Third graders at The Cove worked on biographies this month. We read Emmanuel's Dream and discussed the changes he made to his community and the world.
Fourth and fifth graders reviewed how to use the library catalog. They can sign in, check what books they have out or on hold, search for a book in the library, renew a book, put a book on hold, and research a topic on WebPath express. The fifth graders learned how to create a resource list and make a citation list of sources used. We also shared new books we have received in the library.

Neil Cummins third graders explored Elizabeth Singer Hunt's Jack Stalwart series in anticipation of her March 29th visit. We also played a few games of BINGO using vocabulary from the series.
