To get us ready for Halloween, some Kindergarten classes heard a fun new story:  Druscilla’s Halloween by Sally Walker.

This whimsical story follows the plight of a witch whose creaky bones make it impossible for her to sneak up and scare people.  But her solution to the problem definitely puts her into the Witch Hall of Fame.  Can you guess what it is?

This week, Kindergarten had the pleasure of hearing TWO stories:  Not a Box and Not a Stick by Antoinette Portis.

These books are PERFECT for young imaginations.  The students loved turning each page to discover what the bunny envisioned a cardboard box to be and what the pig fashioned a stick to be.  So much fun to read again and again!

The week of September 27th, Kindergarten students were introduced to The Shelf Elf by Jackie Mims Hopkins.

This endearing picture book tells the tale of Skoob, a busy elf who takes care of the library shelves here in Little Dalton.  Throughout the story, Skoob explains the rules of borrowing books and keeping the library looking fabulous as he works hard to get the Golden Shelf Elf Award.  Now Kindergarten students know our special friend who helps keep an eye on things around here!

During the first week of school, we read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs because a 3-D movie version of the book was released on September 18th.

The book is a classic favorite, and the students really enjoyed the zany pictures and fantastic storyline.

In the following weeks, many students reported back that they had seen the movie and although it was fun and exciting it was nothing like the book.  Hooray for being media savvy!
