BCD’s youngest students have begun their library journeys with me by learning the library song, meeting and snuggling with Sunny, our meerkat helper and sharing stories. With the help of our traveling trunk, we embarked on our first exploration, book care. When we opened the trunk this week, we found an assortment of household items ranging from pencils, juice boxes and blankets to dolls, a toothbrush and a toy boat. We discovered that we were to sort these objects onto either a red piece of paper (for “stop”) and a green piece of paper (for “go”) This helped to remind us of how we should treat our books in the classroom and at home. We discussed why some objects were not safe for our library books.
Although no one knows exactly where the traveling trunk will journey to next week, we know that there will be excitement along the way!
