PICTURES & NEWS The small gym was infested with bugs, critters, reptiles and other gross things this week!! All made of plastic of course :) Ms. Wight's classes were called in to rid the gym of all the pesky varmints. Link to 1-minute video NAVIGATORS PREK MUSIC WITH MS. CAMERON MUSCENTE Students gathered around Ms. Cameron-Muscente while she read them a story about people making music by tapping on ordinary objects they might encounter when walking outside. She asked the students to replicate the story by heading outside to find their own tapping objects and route. Ms. Zhelezko's students responded enthusiastically when given drumming sticks and told to imitate Ms. Cathy's actions. Link to 28 Pictures. |

May is Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! This month celebrates the unique journey of all AAPI immigrants and citizens in the United States and their unique life experiences, traditions and cultures. Look for these books in our library to help you honor and celebrate the historical and cultural contributions of individuals and groups of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. Chi is back! Manga's most famous cat comic returns with a brand new series! Inspired by the new Amazon PrimeTV anime, Chi's Sweet Adventures collects a number of new full-color kitty tales made for readers of all ages! Some stories refuse to stay bottled up... When Lily and her family move in with her sick grandmother, a magical tiger straight out of her halmoni's Korean folktales arrives, prompting Lily to unravel a secret family history. Long, long ago, Halmoni stole something from the tigers. Now they want it back. And when one of the tigers approaches Lily with a deal--return what her grandmother stole in exchange for Halmoni's health--Lily is tempted to agree. But deals with tigers are never what they seem! With the help of her sister and her new friend Ricky, Lily must find her voice...and the courage to face a tiger. |
