What a delightful week in first grade! Our young readers explored Waiting by Kevin Henkes, a tender story about five patient toys observing the gentle rhythms of life from their windowsill perch. This special book earned the Caldecott Honor, one of the highest awards for outstanding artwork in children’s literature. It was truly heartwarming to see the children’s faces light up as they connected with the story’s quiet charm and learned how beautiful waiting can be.
一年级的小朋友们这周度过了美妙的阅读时光！他们品读了凯文·汉克斯创作的《等待》，这个温暖的故事讲述了五个安静的玩具坐在窗台上，观察生活中温柔韵律的动人故事。这本特别的绘本荣获了凯迪克银奖——这是儿童绘本插画领域最崇高的荣誉之一。看着孩子们被故事静谧的魅力深深吸引，发现”等待”也可以如此美好时，他们发亮的小脸蛋真是让人心都融化了。

Our clever second graders just finished The New Kid—the first book in A.I. Newton’s The Alien Next Door series—where they discovered Zeke’s mysterious secret (could he really be an alien?!). Now that you’ve solved this cosmic mystery, don’t stop exploring! The library has the rest of the series waiting for you, packed with even more intergalactic adventures and friendship surprises.
我们聪明的二年级同学刚刚读完了《新同学》——这是A.I.牛顿《隔壁的外星人》系列的第一本书——他们发现了泽克神秘的秘密（他真的是外星人吗？！）。既然你们已经解开了这个宇宙谜题，可别停下探索的脚步哦！图书馆里还有这个系列的其它书籍等着你们，里面充满了更多星际冒险和友谊的惊喜。

Our older elementary students explored the wild world of humor fiction by diving into the hilarious Awesome Friendly Spooky Story by Jeff Kinney. They discovered how authors use silly exaggerations and playful storytelling to make us laugh—then put their own creativity to work with funny predictions and even wrote their own endings! Best of all? The classroom was full of giggles and “Aha!” moments as they fell in love with reading in a whole new way.
我们高年级的小学生们通过阅读杰夫·金尼（Jeff Kinney）爆笑的《Awesome Friendly Spooky Story》，探索了幽默小说的奇妙世界！他们发现了作家如何用夸张搞笑的情节和俏皮的叙事逗我们发笑——接着还发挥自己的创意，编写了趣味预测故事，甚至创作了自己的结局！最棒的是什么？教室里充满了咯咯的笑声和”原来如此！”的顿悟时刻，孩子们就这样以全新的方式爱上了阅读！
