Turkey Time! Nov. 8-12



This week's lesson plans focus on the book Turkey Trouble by Wendy Silvano, along with a coloring activity following a discussion of the book. I remembered this book from the book fair, and I was glad this was one of Summer's purchases for the library. It is so cute!

I was so excited when Summer gave me yet another opportunity to read and conduct this week's lesson. By now the students have become pretty familiar with me in their library, so it was comfortable and natural for them to allow me to perform the story and help with the activity afterward. We talked about the upcoming holiday, along with everyone's input as to what their favorite Thanksgiving traditions are. These kids are hilarious! Everyone loved the story, and the discussions that followed with each class were both lively and entertaining. A few of the classes were pressed for time (Kindergarten, specifically, as they are still struggling with checking out books), but most were able to check out books, hear the story, and complete the coloring activity. Next week Summer will focus on the history of Thanksgiving, so I know this will be a fun and informative lesson as well. I look forward to spending as much time as possible in the library next week, since my internship experience is soon coming to a close.
