The Sparrows began their day in library. Friends returned their books and sat down to listen to a couple stories read aloud.

The first book Kristy read was What Shape is the Moon? by Bo-Hyeon Seo.

When hearing the title, friends responded with, "I know what shape it is. It's a banana!" "It's a semi-circle!"

In the book, the animals argued about the real shape of the moon. In the end, the stork explained that the moon changes, that it goes from little to big and back to little again. That this is called the lunar phases.

The second book Kristy read was an Elephant and Piggie book, There is a Bird on your Head! by Mo Willems.

After reading, friends went to explore the books set out for them to check out and bring back to our classroom.

Ask your Sparrow what book they checked out at the library today.

Back in the classroom, friends had choice, snack, and worked in small groups on a literacy activity.

Friends were called over to the table to work on the letters L, F and E. Friends worked on big lines and little lines.

Before writing the letters, friends told us what type of lines they needed for each. After friends wrote the lines to form each letter, they used their fingers to trace over the lines they made. Friends also made the sounds of each letter.
