K-1 Has Been Busy in Library

In Library the K-1 students read lots of fiction and non-fiction books about penguins.  After learning lots of interesting facts about penguins and being entertained by some silly stories, the students created their own penguins.  The students decided our penguins are fiction penguins since they are wearing scarves and earmuffs.  I was really impressed with the patterns the children created on their penguin scarves.

Now that we are all done learning about penguins, the K-1 students have started a unit on Newbery Honor winning author and illustrator, Mo Willems.  The first set of books we read is the Knuffle Bunny series.  Mo Willems' books are best known for teaching important lessons in a comical way.



The students have been working at centers where they get to participate in Mo Willems activities like matching, puzzle making, reading, and drawing.  The students also learned how to create their own Knuffle Bunnies like a real illustrator.  Check out their illustrations below!
