October in the Library- Kindergarten Activities

It's been a busy month in the library. In kindergarten, we read The Berenstain Bears and the Ghost of the Forest. We also studied Eric Carle's books. We read Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too?, From Head to Toe, and The Mixed Up Chameleon. Students explored bears, kangaroos, and chameleons using our PebbleGo database. If you haven't looked at PebbleGo then I highly recommend checking it out. Students are learning about the variety of resources that they can use in the library to find information. 

After doing some research on kangaroos, students drew pictures of kangaroos and told us what they liked best about them. As you can see, students learned quite a bit and made some terrific illustrations. 

Students also created their own mixed up chameleons using the New York Zoo and Aquarium website. Here's an example from one of our students:

We also read Click, Clack, Boo by Doreen Cronin.

Kindergartners also visited a variety of festive Halloween websites and practiced using the mouse. They carved pumpkins on abcya.com and decorated a scarecrow on the Highlights for Kids website.
