It's been a busy month already in the OPS Library and we're only half way through December. Our Kindergarten students have been learning about how authors and illustrators use words and pictures to tell stories. We've looked at books without pictures, wordless picture books, and even a story told with just two words - banana and please. Our 2nd and 3rd graders have been looking at two types of nonfiction, narrative and expository. We've read examples of both, and discussed how they differ. In library club our 2nd - 6th grade students have been enjoying some spirited games of magnetic chess whenever they are not reading, reading, reading. Our fourth grade students have been learning the difference between primary and secondary sources by looking at examples of both and applying what they've learned to a variety of scenarios where these sources are used. Citations have been our focus in the fifth grade, with our students learning how to create citations for a variety of books. In the sixth grade our research into climate change continues, with our students calculating their carbon footprint and considering how global warming might affect communities throughout the world. We hope you enjoy the holiday season and we're looking forward to a wonderful 2024 with our students!
