G'day mates! The school year is winding down in our Butternut Library turned "Land Down Under." In our walk-about Australia we learned about 16 unique animals this year. Our students did a great job recalling each of their names. Click on the download below to see the animals we studied.
In keeping with our theme, we encouraged the students to do a "Library Read-About," where they checked out books from various sections of the library. They had 16 sections to complete, which included biography, fiction, all non-fiction, and a librarian's choice.
A total of 50 Butternut students met the challenge and completed their "Read-About" cards. Good-on-yer-mates! (Australian for Congratulations!)
Our Library Lingo words totalled 16. Keep encouraging your child(ren) to use these terms properly. Click on the other link below to see all the words and their terms.
Enjoy your summer. Have fun playing outside, but don't forget to keep reading too. As Richard Steele said, "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." To prepare your child for next school year, below are listed some helpful summer reading suggestions.
