We are looking at a lot of rain in the forecast, so I thought why not celebrate the love of stories this week? If the weather turns out to be sunny, there’s nothing like reading and crafting outside!

Today I’ll be sharing with you a story from one of my most favourite author and illustrators, Oliver Jeffers. Every children’s book Oliver Jeffers has published I have read and loved. His creativity is outstanding – have you seen this inspiring video he created? Before reading today’s story, I highly recommend you watch it. And if you don’t already, I’m sure you’ll love Jeffers as much as I do after watching it.

“The Incredible Book Eating Boy” is the story about a boy who loves books differently than you or I. From the publisher:

“Like many children, Henry loves books. Though Henry doesn’t like to read books, he likes to eat them! But one day he feels sick to his stomach. Can Henry find a way to enjoy books without using his teeth?”

Find today’s story here:

What did you think? I do not recommend eating books but reading them will definitely make you smarter! There’s a reason Dr. Seuss said,

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

Here’s to reading and reading and eating… whoops!

ACTIVATE ROBO-GALLERY BLAST –

Today is Gallery Day and I can’t wait to share the wild work of our students with you all. I am happy to hear how many of you are enjoying “The Wild Robot” read aloud — and across all grades! Peter Brown has truly written a special story. We have “The Wild Robot Escapes” in our library learning commons too, an FYI. 😉

Here is a sneak peak of today’s awesome-sauceness:

Our École Mount Prevost’s ESW students’ wild robots, found in the wild, Grades K – 5:

MH, Grade 1, Wild Robot diorama:

I will add all to the work to the Student Gallery page by 3 pm today. If your child has work they would like to submit, please know I will accept work at any time, there is no deadline. The only reason I post at 3 on Fridays is to have as much work as possible revealed at once. I will however, add student work anytime after.

Please see the “Submitting Student Work” Page for more information.

Un grand merci to all those taking part. I’m finding your work so inspiring.

Robo-Sauce

From the duo who brought you, “Dragon’s Love Tacos“, today’s story, “Robo-Sauce” is, well, awesome-sauce and the perfect ingredient to kick off Robot Week!

Check out the funny book trailer from the author Adam Rubin and illustrator Daniel Salmieri:

Hilarious, right?

Tomorrow we design our robots for our robot builds on Thursday. When reading “Robo-Sauce” today, look at all of the interesting robots included in the story. See what type of robots give you ideas for your own robot design.

I sure enjoyed making the video and I’m happy to say I made our principal laugh when I showed him. Success! He thought the sound effects were funny too – robots make noises after all!

Find today’s reading of “Robo-Sauce” here:

Weekly Library Lessons

New Library Lessons: April 13th – 17th, 2020

April 6, 2020 mtprevostllc Leave a comment

I’m very excited to share with EMP families our first week of online library learning commons lessons! The theme of our first week is “Sharing the Beauty in Our World”.

On Monday, April 13th at 9 am, I will post a password-protected video of me reading the Canadian story, “Sidewalk Flowers” by author JonArno Lawson, illustrated by Sydney Smith.

The password will be shared on our Library Learning Commons Facebook page and our principal will be sharing the password in an email home to all families this coming week. The password will stay the same for all future online story readings. Online readings are allowed by certain book publishers as long as the videos are private and password protected. All videos will be taken down at the end of June 2020.

Each day at 9 am, I will publish a new video of me sharing the daily activities. Please note:

Activities can be done in any order, on any day of the week.
Activities are optional and just suggestions. If you and your child(ren) have other ideas or are inspired in another way, please follow your heart!
Your child(ren) can participate in one activity, two activities or none. Just listening to the story is fine!
If you and your child(ren) are interested in sending me your work – please do! I would love to see what you’ve made. Please see the “Submissions” tab at the top right hand side of my blog for more information. Submissions can be sent to dzibin@sd79.bc.ca
If you and your child(ren) choose to share work with our EMP community, please let me know in the email. I will publish all submissions on the blog by noon on Fridays in a gallery style format. If you have any comments or anecdotes to share along with the images, please do so!
Stories and activities will change weekly.
All ages are welcome to participate. I will be creating separate programming for Grades 4-7 for the week.

On Fridays I will share student submissions on the blog.

Sidewalk dandelions I discovered in the parking lot at École Mount Prevost yesterday.

Questions? Please email me at dzibin@sd79.bc.ca.

Looking forward to seeing your responses to our shared readings!

Bonjour; I’ve missed you!

Welcome to the École Library Learning Commons webpage!

I have made this webpage to reach as many EMP families as possible as a result of the early closure of our school due to the Covid19 pandemic. For parents who are unaware, I also post regularly on my École Mount Prevost Library Learning Commons Facebook page and our EMP webpage has an LLC tab as well that links to online digital resources offered by our district.

The reason I have created this new website is to be able to post videos and lessons for your children during our absence from school. I cannot post these resources as easily on our district LLC page. In the near future, I will begin posting read alouds and reading response lessons for your children to participate in if your family chooses to do so. I will continue to post these lessons to the LLC page on Facebook as well, however not all families are on Facebook and able to access the lessons there.

By the end of this week, I will post a schedule of read alouds and themes for the month of April, as well as a list of optional activities to accompany the read alouds. If your child(ren) choose to participate in the optional activites, I would love for you to send me photos of her/his/their work for me to post here and on the Facebook LLC to share with other families in our school community, with your permission, of course!

Questions? Please feel free to email me at dzibin@sd79.bc.ca

Stay safe and healthy, and I look forward to connecting with you and your family soon!
