Foothills Elementary


 
We twisted the Orientation and read the book "Manners with a Library Book" by Amanda Doering Tourville.  We displayed books that were damaged with numbers attached to them from 1-6.  1=torn pages, 2=chewed book, 3=food spilled book, 4=water damaged book, etc.  As we read the story, we asked the kids to tell us (with their fingers) which book was the opposite of the good manners in the story.  This worked well with the older classes which have heard the story about Marion's book for years. The younger kids heard the story about Marion's book and we talked about the displayed damaged books as well. 
 
We are currently doing curriculum lessons and reading a story to those who have already completed their curriculum lessons such as Kindergarten.  We are looking forward to October because we will be reading fun holiday books.
