Long Elementary Library Learning Center

So PROUD of our Long Readers! These 4th and 5th grade students participated in our state-wide Mark Twain Award Book Challenge. They had to read at least 4 books from our state list and most read even more! Five of our students even read ALL TWELVE of the books on our list. Keep on reading Long Readers!

Wow, these fourth graders are halfway through their author study book clubs and boy did they have a lot to say about the events in their books so far and their main characters. These students got to pick their own books from the library based on their chosen authors. Can’t wait for our next meeting!

It is Crayola Creativity Week! First graders learned about Edwin Binney, the person who invented these colorful tools.

4th Graders came in for a “Book Tasting” today in preparation for choosing their next book clubs. This time, students will be reading different books by the same author.

Getting comfy and enjoying some great books :)

Writing time, read alouds, research, and searching for our next great read!

Balloons over Broadway by Melissa Sweet taught us about Tony Sarg who helped design the original balloons we see now during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

It was so great to host a visiting storyteller in collaboration with the St. Louis County Library’s Storytelling festival. Kim Weitkamp taught us some funny songs and told us the REAL version of Jack and the Jellybean Stalk.
