In the month of October, we will be exploring two genres that I think the students will enjoy! The first two part of the month we will discuss and read books from the Adventure genre. Older students will listen to stories from the Choose Your Own Adventure series and younger students hear the stories Amos and Boris and Louise: The Adventures of a Chicken. We will discuss common characteristics of adventure selections. The last part of October we will looking into the mystery genre. We will learn important vocabulary words associated with this genre and enjoy titles such as Detective LaRue, Grandpa’s Teeth and Encyclopedia Brown. Younger students will hear Nate the Great as well as The Mystery of the Flying Pumpkin. At the end of the month I plan to read some fun Halloween stories and have our annual classes of “Scary stories with Mrs. Price.”
As always please talk to your children about what books they are taking an interest in. Also, ask if they have any books that need to be returned to the Reading Center. Your interest in what they are reading and how they are using the school library will encourage them to keep finding selections they enjoy!
Thank you and Happy Halloween!!
