The library is in full swing this week with all classes attending except those affected by the Monday holiday. The Weekly Readalouds page shows what each grade is hearing and doing.
The only reschedule this week is that of Ms. Batavick's class, which will come on Thursday from 10:50 to 11:20.
Right now any classes are hearing books themed on trees and the coming of autumn. The autumnal equinox is this Saturday, September 22. I just saw the first pumpkins of the season at Trader Joe's, so that marks the official change of season for me! Grade 2 is in the midst of a two-week examination of fiction and nonfiction. Grade 4's discussion of The Cello of Mr. O, by Jane Cutler, will continue next week, as we are introducing all the elements used in the literary response method through this intense and complex story.

The book club for grade 5 meets next week--Thursday, September 26. We will discuss Aliens on Vacation (which many students seem to be enjoying) and go on to the next book, A Tale Dark and Grimm, by Adam Gidwitz.
The library will close at 1:30 on Wednesday this week as I need to attend a districtwide meeting of library staff.
