Youngest Learner
Week 5
Y We do not have learning centers or writing centers in the library. We have K-4th grade one hour per week, while they are in the library we teach them some library skills. We read a story each week as we read we stop and ask questions about the story. When we finish the story we will place the book in front of the room and have the students draw a picture about the story.
Another activity we do in the library is for the students to write a puppet show.
We select a book from our picture story book section and we divide the class into groups for each book. The students are to select the characters from each book, then using the book write it into a dialogue for each character.
They then make a puppet for each character. The puppet is of their choice; sock, stick, whatever they choose. They present their play to others in class or present it to another class.

The puppets are a great way to bring the story to life. The students can actually get envolved in the story and comprehend it better. The Library is a great place to introduce all the many different types of books. Here the students get encouraged about reading

I like the idea of making and using the puppets to tell the story. Maybe the older students could come to the lower grades and present the story with the puppets.
Students would love to make puppets that go with a story or use the puppets to make up a story of their own.
