Miss Kristin's Pick of the Week

DINOSAUR VS. BEDTIME! by Bob Shea

Watch Dinosaur as he fights and conquers a pile of leaves, spaghetti, the slide, talking grown-ups, and more! Dinosaur always wins! Then, Dinosaur meets his match with the most challenging opponent....bedtime! Will he win?
Dinosaur vs. Bedtime has fun and bright illustrations that also incorporate photography. The simple vocabulary along with many dinosaur "roaaars" and exclamation points makes this an excellent book to read out loud. It is a great bedtime book that I would highly recommend. "Roaaaar!"

We will estimate, measure, and chart our findings. We will learn all about different types of polymers and find out about their water-retaining properties.

Miss Kristin's Pick of the Week!

Woolbur
written by Leslie Helakoski, Illustrated by Lee Harper.

My pick this week is a great story about a little sheep named Woolbur who doesn't follow the flock. He is a free spirit who does things a little differently than the other sheep. His unique attitude makes his parents worry and his teachers angry, but in the end, his individuality makes him a leader rather than an outsider. This is a great book to help children understand that we all have differences that make us who we are and stand out from the rest of the flock.

Interest Level: Lower Grades (K-3)
Reading level: 2nd Grade
