Library Learning Commons turned into a Makerspace!

This week we are reading Going Places by Peter and Paul Reynolds.  It is one of the Surrey Picture Book of the Year Nominees.  After reading and discussing the story, students worked collaboratively with a partner to build something that moves! We saw cars, planes, spaceships, submarines and even a horse and a pogo stick! Katzie kids are sure a creative bunch! Read the book, watch the book trailer, and get inspired!

That Is NOT a Good Idea!

We are starting off the new year with one of our Surrey Picture Book of the Year nominees, That Is Not a Good Idea! by Mo Willems.  This book reminds me of a silent movie in its presentation so we have been talking about silent movies, the music used, and the sometimes exaggerated actions of the actors. Here's a fun example of a recently created silent movie called Rapunzel's Rescue. http://safeshare.tv/w/FwVzReXNXf
