Cafe Reading and Library April 27th - May 1st

By -

Hello everyone! Its Mrs. Barton here again with our weekly Café Reading and Library lesson. I hope you and everyone in your family are doing well. This week’s lesson will be a review lesson on making connections. Making connections is when the reader brings information or life experiences they have had and connect it with what they are reading to increase their understanding.
Making Connections with Text
Attached are two YouTube read alouds. Both books talk about feelings and mindfulness (being present and feeling at peace). Everyone is dealing with a lot right now and it’s good to remind ourselves to take a few breaths and tell ourselves that everything will be okay. I made a lot of connections to these two books.

Today we said "goodbye" to our coho salmon. Mr. Wallace and Mrs. Jones-Gallant had quite a time catching all of the fish and putting them into the bucket. Rob, the fisheries officer, stopped by and collected the bucket of fish.  Later that day we checked the tank and there were about 10 fish swimming around in the tank!!  They had been hiding under the grate. I guess they didn't want to go back to the creek!  We will have to keep feeding them and we will try catching the last few fish another day.
