we love going to the school library

Every Thursday our class goes to the school library. We love going to the library because we get to read and share lots of different books with out friends. We each have our own library card that we use to check out a new book. We line up beside the librarian and show her the new book we have chosen, she scans the book and checks it out for us!

We always remeber to use the FIve Finger Test when choosing a book to make sure it is right for us. First we choose a book that we like, then we pick a page and start reading. For every tricky word we get stuck on we put up one finger.

1 finger-easy
2 fingers-just right
3 fingers- a little bit hard but it could be fun
4 fingers difficult to read (try with an adult)
5 fingers- too difficult for now, save it for next year!  

We are very lucky to have such a well stocked library
