Reads and Seeds Week 3: Book Tasting Menu

This week we decided to host a Book Tasting in the library.



Students visited 3 different tables, appetizers, main course, and desserts, and filled out a "menu" at each table. The "menu" is really a book review. Appetizers are picture books, main course is for nonfiction picture books, and desserts is for chapter books. The hope is that students will find books that interest them and they'll check out at least one book from their "tasting".






When their menus were complete, students filled in a Featured Selection review of their favorite book from their menu. We will display their completed menus, Featured Selection, and pictures on the bulletin board in the hallway. Here are some of the Taste Testers of today!




After the tasting, students could choose a center to visit: watercolor painting, bracelet making, Playdoh, and tangrams.



We got to add 2 more garden boxes today, but I didn't get pictures. Let's hope the garden gets plenty of sun and rain this week!

If you'd like a copy of the Book Tasting Menu, you can download it {HERE}!!
Don't worry, it's generic!
