It's been a busy month in the Killam School Library. In kindergarten, we read The Berenstain Bears and the Ghost of the Forest. We also studied Eric Carle's books. We read Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too?, From Head to Toe, and The Mixed-Up Chameleon. Students explored bears, kangaroos and chameleons using our PebbleGo database. If you haven't looked at PebbleGo then I highly recommend checking it out. Students are learning about the variety of resources that they can use in the library to find information.

After doing some research on kangroos, students drew pictures of kangaroos and told us what they liked best about them. As you can see, students learned quite a bit and made some terrific illustrations.

Students also created their own mixed up chameleons using the New York Zoo and Aquarium website:

On the last day of October we read Click, Clack, Boo by Doreen Cronin.
Kindergartners also visited a variety of festive Halloween websites and practiced using the mouse. They carved pumpkins on abcya.com and decorated a scarecrow on the Highlights for Kids website.
