I am going to miss the students and staff of Taylor tremendously. It was so hard to say good-bye to everyone on Friday! After spending this summer relaxing, and reading lots of good books, I will be teaching preschool next year. This new job will provide me with much more free time in my schedule, which will allow me to spend more time with my family. It was a very hard decision to leave Taylor, but one that I know is right for me and my family.<br />
<br />
I am very excited that my friend, Jennifer Haveman, will be joining the staff as the new Taylor librarian. She has been the librarian at Mooneyham Elementary for four years, and she is going to do a great job! I know you all will be very excited to meet her when school starts! <br />
<br />
Have a wonderful summer Taylor family, and keep reading!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420215261446335742.post-31082027052792307152012-05-30T09:40:00.000-07:002012-05-30T09:40:25.410-07:00Summer Reading Rocks!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fourth grade students are visiting the library this week to learn about animal adaptations. The students really seem to enjoy this research because they are able to choose which animals they would like to learn about. They research four animals, finding the habitat and four adaptations for each animal. This is fourth grade's fourth time to visit the library for research this year. Together we have completed units on Native American tribes, scientists, poetry, and now animal adaptations. Once again this year, animal adaptations seems to be their favorite of all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420215261446335742.post-69248518771062413082012-05-09T11:05:00.002-07:002012-05-09T11:05:48.785-07:00Solar System Research<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here at Taylor we are reading award winning books this week to celebrate. Students are learning all about the Caldecott Medal, and being exposed to many Caldecott winners. Here are a few of the books our students are enjoying this week: <em>The Funny Little Woman </em>by Arlene Mosel, <em>Officer Buckle and Gloria</em> by Peggy Rathmann, <em>The Man Who Walked Between the Towers</em> by Mordicai Gerstein, and <em>Black and White</em> by David Macaulay. Students also saw the first Caldecott winner, <em>Animals of the Bible</em> by Dorothy Lathrop. They learned how children's book illustrations have changed greatly over the years. We have many wonderful Caldecott winners available for check out, so why not come and choose a great one today!</div></div></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420215261446335742.post-28805215052767496082012-04-09T07:58:00.004-07:002012-04-09T08:00:25.201-07:00Hunting the Hunter<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TLVRwQ2HoQY/T4L5LM0l22I/AAAAAAAAAh4/XhjTIxe5AdM/s1600/hunting%2Bthe%2Bhunter.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

These book are both new books that we received in a recent book order. This first grade class listened so well during storytime that I let them all choose an animal to read to after they had checked out. They looked so cute that I had to take their picture. <br /><br /><div></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0
