October 28

This morning we walked to the South Saint Paul Public Library. As part of our community unit we are learning about different places that are a part of our community. We met Amy the childrens librarian who gave us a tour of the upstairs childrens area. We learned about how to get a library card, how to find books on the shelves and the many special family programs the library offers. It was a chilly walk, but we had lots of fun.

Here we are arriving. We were so thankful to be in a warm place full of books.

We spent time downstairs looking at the books that we will "grow into" someday.
This is Amy, our new librarian friend. She is telling us about library cards.
We had so much fun learning about the library!

Check us out! We are learning how to play a new math game called Spin a Number. It helps us practice cooperative group learning, counting from one to ten, taking turns and number recognition. This was our first time working in small groups. We did really well for our first time. This will be a favorite game to play during Free Choice time.
