Summer Book Bunch

This week, we held our Summer Book Bunch at four branches and discussed Kat Fall's underwater ecological adventure, Dark Life.  In keeping with our ocean theme, we snacked on cheddar fish crackers, experimented with scale by measuring out the span of a whale (interesting fact: at an average of 100 feet in length, a whale wouldn't even fit in most of our libraries!), sorted sea animals into their proper "depth" zones, and painted glow-in-the-dark jellyfish mobiles!

Getting ready to discuss Dark Life.

Learning about the different ocean zones, which include the Sunlit, Twilight, Midnight, Abyss, and Trench zones.

Sorting ocean animals into proper depth designations.

Working on our luminescent jellyfish mobiles!

They also work well as hats.

Our bookish bunch at Ironton.

Keep reading!
