This week, we will continue with our bat unit with a focus on the little brown bat. Students are practicing their research skills while learning about this misunderstood mammal. I am impressed with how quickly they have picked up the bat vocabulary!
Little brown bats are the most common bats in Canada. They have adapted well to living in urban areas and often take advantage of bat houses. These amazing creatures can eat up to 1000 mosquitoes in one night but weigh about the same as two dimes and a nickel!
OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS
This month, our featured authors are birthday boys, David Shannon and James Marshall. David Shannon is well-known for his David books, based on his childhood. James Marshall, a prolific author and illustrator, wrote the Miss Nelson books as well as my favourites, George and Martha. These books are on display and available for check out. Have a look at the library bulletin board for more information about these beloved children's authors.
HALLOWE'EN
The Library is ready for Hallowe'en! The display case is full of spooky items and there is a colony of bats roosting on the ceiling. Along with the display of bat books, there is a wide selection of Hallowe'en books for students to check out. Look out for the purple spider...
KINDERGARTENS
I am so proud of our K students; they are doing a great job of following the check out routines! Princesses and Star Wars are favourite books. Just a reminder that Mondays are Kindergarten book exchange days. Please return your child's library books on Friday to make Monday's check out easier!
