Ask Your Child About...

4-5th Graders:
  • Book Hunt to find different books using the library number system. The Book Hunt game helped the children feel comfortable finding a book on the shelf using the number system.
  • Jeopardy Game where the students gave the question to answers based upon popular children's books characters and plots.
3rd Graders:
  • Animal Interview where the children picked a favorite animal, found a book about the animal and then answered questions about it. The children presented their answers like a news reporter interviewing for a news show. This taught the students research skills and they practiced public speaking.
2nd Graders:
  • Reader's Theater of the popular children's book Bee-Bim-Bop! The students read the book and then some were asked to act it out in front of the class. It was a very cute presentation by the wonderful 2nd graders.
1st Graders:
  • Leslie Tryon's book: Albert's Christmas
Kindergarten Class
  • The book All About Deer and facts about deer and reindeer


This Week At The Library

You must return all library books (especially OVERDUE library books) before the holiday break. Check under your bed and in your desk and be sure to bring your books back to Munford's library.

Congratulations to Mrs Dunn and Miss Flanagan's Class

Each 3-5th grade class that comes to the library has a chance to earn special points for good behavior, following library rules and being gentle to the books. The older students earn library dollars and the younger ones get a check mark on a chart. The results are tallied at the end of every 13 weeks.

This sessions winners are:
Mrs Dunn's 4th grade class with 252 library dollars out of a possible 260
Miss Flanagan's 2nd grade class for getting six check marks.

Mrs. Dunn's class gets a pizza party and Miss Flanagan's class picks a prize out of the Treasure Chest.
