Look who's ba-ack!
Hooray--Chef Reid Moore is visiting our library this whole week! He brought a fun book called Pete's a Pizza (an oldie, but a goodie) by William Steig to share with the younger grades and an exciting pizza-themed game to review library skills for the older students.

Older students play a pizza game that reviews library skills...
Chef Reid Moore is having a blast this week, and has even managed to squeeze in some exercise running around the library. (He doesn't mind--he said he's been meaning to lose some weight anyway!) His last day will be Friday, and although the kids may be sad to see him go, he is leaving some pizza-scented bookmarks to remind them that books are YUMMY!
It's dinner time, so I'll end this post here. Besides, I'm suddenly hungry for pizza!

Have I told you how impressed I am that you have made library time so engaging? Our kids just go... return books... check out books... and come back to class. Who knew how fabulous it could all be?!
ReplyDeleteYou are just TOO FUN!

I ordered it off of Amazon for less than $45.00, and I believe they still have some available. I should mention that although I feel like I've gotten my money's worth, the fan motor just went out, making my suit pretty much useless. Luckily I plan lessons with another elementary librarian (who had ordered the same costume) and she let me borrow hers for my last day of library lessons!
DeleteGlad you're a new follower--I'm off to check out your blog now!

How cute! Brings back memories. I used to turn my son into a pizza when he was so into this book.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a K-5 media specialist and loved it! I'm back in the classroom now but I did it for 8 years! Cute blog!

This activity sounds so fun for a library lesson! Did you make this one up? If not, where did you find it? If so, could I pretty PLEASE beg you to email me details (mandy@bookinspirations.com)? :) I am so glad I stumbled across your blog; I am a elementary school librarian who LOVES to do creative and fun lessons in my library! We need to get together (maybe at next year's TLA). Thanks again for sharing your great ideas! :)
