The 2nd grade classes heard a very fun story about a grumpy grandpa, a toboggan, and a long scarf.  After the story, and while they take turns selecting a book to take back to class, each child completes a hidden picture of some cats sledding.  If you know a 2nd grader from Jefferson Park, ask them to tell you the story of “The Wild Toboggan Ride”.         

During their February visit to the library the 1st grade classes put their listening skills to good use.  After we read ” The Mitten” by Jan Brett from a big book together each class member followed verbal directions given for a color sheet from the book.  They did a fantastic job completing the page as directed!  The activity was fun for all.

Mrs. Martin’s class visited the library while they were studying the letter ‘B’.  Mrs. Griffith.  We read a poem, sang a song, and heard two great stories about BUBBLES!  Mrs. Griffith also gave each child a “Bubbles Everywhere” book to read to 3 people and return to the class.  Happy Reading!

This month the 4th grade classes are visiting the library to learn about the author/illustrator David Shannon.  At the end of Mrs. Griffith’s presentation, she gave them a quiz.  They earned suckers for getting all the answers!  Anyone can come in and check out books by David Shannon.  We have several great ones.

  Mrs. VanHoveln’s class came to the library to hear two great stories about cookies, enjoy a cookie, and take home a book called “Counting Cookies” to read and return to the class.

The 2nd graders are swooping into the library this month to hear the story of “Stellaluna”.  They then check out books and make a bat craft.  Because of the rainy weather, it took an extra week to get everyon in this month.  So cool we will have LIVE Egyptian Fruit Bats November 17th as part of Family Reading Night!

Mrs. Martin’s kindergarten class visited the library during their study of the letter “P”.  Mrs. Griffith led them in a fun story about going on a picnic only to have it rain.  We read a book about pigs going on a picnic, and then each child received a book to take home, color, read to 3 people, and return to the class.
