Library Field Trip by Guest Bloggers Tristan and Eloise

A recap of our library field trip from guest bloggers Tristan and Eloise.

The library was so much fun. We want to go there a billion and ten times! We got to pick out books.

Lilly Mae found a book about pets.

We were in the children's section of the library.  You could play and
read there.  If you didn't like the book you were looking at, you
could put it back and get a new one.

Eloise and Makayla were having fun in the bear cave.

Joab is being silly. We love the library.

Jack is writing his name on his new library card.

We all got to check out a book with our
new library cards.

We had to write our first and last names neatly.
We have been practicing at school.

Mrs. Maynard read us a funny story about a little card
and big card. 

Our class got to go on the story walk.  It was so much fun.  We read a cool story about butterflies and moths.

We pretended to fly like a butterfly to look for the next page in the book.

Our moms all took turns reading the pages of the book.

Thanks to the Hopkinton Town Library and all of our chaperones. It was a fun day!

Thank You to Mrs. Maynard

We had such a wonderful time at the Hopkinton Town Library back in January.  Mrs. Maynard is coming to our class to read to us next week and we can't wait to see her again.  Our class made Mrs. Maynard this video to show her as a special thank you for having us at the library. (See video on right.) We can't wait to surprise her with the video and a special book that we made for her.  We know librarians love book! We have collected our opinion writing about our favorite parts of the field trip and made them into a special book.

Stay tuned for more of our opinion writing and a special video that all three kindergarten classes will make to show parents of incoming students what Harold Martin School Kindergarten is all about!

Library Field Trip

We had a wonderful time visiting our town library.  Thank you to Mrs. Maynard and the rest of the library staff for hosting us!  This year was the first time our school had three kindergarten classes visit at the same time.  Our time at the library was broken into three stations to accommodate our large group.

The first station was selecting and signing out a book.  It was very exciting getting our very own library cards!

Samantha and Charlie sign their names on the back of their new library cards.

Clara and Alice patiently wait for their turn.

Ayler and Lauryn show off the books they found.

Our cards are signed and ready to check-out books.

Our happy and polite group of kindergartners.

Our next station was a tour of the library.  It included the book hospital, local history room, the book drop and the magical fireplace that turns on with a chant of..."I love books!" We saved our favorite station for last when we visited Mrs. Maynard for story time.

Teddy tries to use the book for his hat.  

Our class loved listening to Mrs. Maynard's stories.

After we wrapped up in the library, there was plenty of time to play out in the field before lunch and stopping by the Slusser Senior Center, where we performed the songs we sang at our winter concert.

We found plenty of fun ways to spend our time in the field.
Unfortunately, the playground was all ice.

Sledding fun in the sun!

We squeezed into the senior center to spread some winter cheer.

It was another wonderful performance by all three kindergarten classes.
