Jangles: A Big Fish Story
Fish stories have a tendency to become exaggerated at each retelling. That is the idea behind the story of Jangles. This is a great story! We made foil fishing lures in honor of the story.
We also had an adventure during our morning together. The fire alarm went off and we all filed out. Then the fire trucks and police and Alvin ISD personnel came and we waited outside for hours in the sweltering heat. Mrs. Tribble had to come save us and she gave us Popsicles.
Just kidding! Part of that is true - we did have to go outside because of the fire alarm and the kids did eat Popsicles. Never a dull moment in the library!

Balloons over Broadway
Today we learned about Tony Sarg and how he created the first balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. The students are designing their own balloons and will make a paper mâché balloon over the course of summer reading program. This is a fun website about the Macy's parade: www.macys.com/parade
