Grade 3

On Friday, in the library, we continued our Passport to Reading program by visiting India! Sasha Sicurella, a BCD enrichment teacher and director of Art Omi, as well as the director of the I Am: International Foundation, joined us to share her videos and stories of her trip in March 2010 to India. I Am: International Foundation works with students and children around the world using art as a medium to bring people and ideas together. After viewing the photos, we compared and contrasted the images in the presentation with life in the Berkshires. Sasha also allowed us to explore some decorative textiles and souvenirs from her trip. Thank you Sasha for joining us this week in the library!

Third Graders visiting the library this week had an exercise in improvisation! They were given an original Thanksgiving Skit on the Spot to perform for the Preschool with only 15 minutes to prepare. These energetic and creative bunch quickly rose to the challenge, donning their costumes and reading through the script without missing a beat. The skit’s message of cooperation and flexibility served as a symbol of this group’s determination and leadership this year in the library.

Don’t forget to stop by the Book Sale this week in the library for all your holiday and literary gifts, and check out our newest Third Grade Featured Reader (Fiona!) Selections.
Happy Thanksgiving!
