Prescott Library at Wheeler School

We are so excited to begin another school year!! During our 1st week of school Kindergartners became royalty, first graders were affirmed as beautiful bright stars and 2nd graders collaborated to create a space where they feel seen and heard! Here’s to lots of curiosity, books and learning!

Took a ride on the Peace Train with my 1st graders. A song written over 50 years ago by Cat Stevens and made into a picture book illustrated by

4th graders getting ready for the Annual Battle of the Books!! We’re so excited!

2nd graders love fun read alouds. I welcomed them back with Aaron Reynolds’s Creepy Pair of Underwear. They made even creepier ones!!

Using the book Between the Lines Pre K tries to imagine a world without color and it turns out, they simply can’t because they’ll miss the rainbows and they like having different skin colors and they don’t want us and everything to be the same color because that’s boring.

And sometimes we just read!!

1st graders explore the domestication of cats. They’re creating a scene of a cat’s life in the wild or in the home.

And we’re back! We’re starting the year with our Caldecott study. We’ll be anticipating Youth Media Award Announcements!!

From our library to yours and from our community to yours. Give Thanks
Just a few titles that our K-2nd grade students have enjoyed and used to inspire thankfulness.

Last class with Pre K before the Thanksgiving break. Bear Gives Thanks seemed appropriate. Pre K friends shared being grateful for family, their school and their pets.

2nd grade explores informational nonfiction while learning the importance of working as a team to present an idea.
