It was another full week in my library. With my littles up through first grade we read Blue and Green by Laura Vaccaro Seeger. For our activity this week we illustrated three books.

Welcome to second semester. Our administration always tries to have a first week be a short one, so we started on Wednesday. The first day is always a little chaotic in the library – students with new independent studies, students with schedule issues who need a temporary home, etc. As first days go, this one… More Week by Week series – Week 18

Good morning! How was your week last week? With my kinders I took an easy week. We’ve had a lot of rain lately which is highly unusual for us, so they were quite wiggly.

It was another week in the library – thankfully this was a short week for us. We had parent teacher conferences on Thursday and no school on Friday so I only had three days with the kiddos.
