From Rocket Scientist to Reading Ninja
HI-YA! Forever and a day pretty much sums up how long it's been since I've paid any attention to this blog. My last post (from the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year) was about my space theme in the library, which was so fun! This year, I am doing a ninja theme, and it has been awesome! During orientation, I asked students to guess what this word is:
Many of them guessed "read", but it's actually "ninja", and I told them that we were going to be reading ninjas this year.
A good friend helped me KICK up the decor with a few shower curtains and glue guns, transforming the entrance to the library:
There are a lot of great picture books about ninjas, like this one:
The teachers are ninjas, too!

Ninja skills have been encouraged in the library all year long, and the kids continue to love this reading adventure!

ReplyDeleteI happened to chance upon your blog and found it very interesting!
We have recently launched a science app that uses augmented reality to enhance classroom teaching. The app has 3D models for kindergarten to grade 12. I thought you might want to check it out and may be review it on your blog, if possible.
It is a paid app(with a few models free) but in case you are interested in trying it out I will be happy to provide you with a free copy.
The link to the app is:
