The Reading Wall
Every time a child comes to the library they put their name and the number of books they read since their last visit on a shape and add it to our reading wall.

Week 1: Ocean Zones
This week we read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Shell by Lucille Colandro.
We also learned about the different ocean zones and met some creatures that live in the deepest parts of the ocean: trenches.
Week 2: The Water Cycle
This week we read the book
Drop: An Adventure Through the Water Cycle by Emily Kate Moon.
We learned about the different steps of the water cycle and about protecting our water.
Here is the link to the cute song we learned.
Here is a link to the video we watched.
Week 3: Legends & Lore
This week we read the book Roger, the Jolly Pirate by Brett Helquist.
We were so inspired by the book that we went on a treasure hunt in the library!
Thanks to information supplied by the Alabama Department of Archives and History we learned that part of Alabama was once underwater. We discovered a prehistoric whale called the Basilosaurus that lived in the Alabama ocean.

We also learned a lot about sharks.
