在本次春季研学之旅中，同学们收获了关于周围世界的奇妙知识！一起来看看图书馆老师们本周的精选读物，以及为延续你们研学好奇心准备的特别书单吧！
Younger Primary G1-2 年级小学生
Excited by the trip to the Beijing Zoo this week, our younger primary students read a funny book called Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin, a Caldecott Honor winner. In the story, the cows find an old typewriter and start leaving notes for Farmer Brown. When they decide the barn is too cold, they ask for electric blankets! With the cows on strike and the hens joining in, Farmer Brown finally makes a deal—and the farm is peaceful once again.
本周在北京动物园之行的兴奋余韵中，我们低年级的小读者们共读了凯迪克银奖作品——多琳·克罗宁的《咔嗒、咔嗒、哞！会打字的牛》。这个妙趣横生的故事里，奶牛们发现一台旧打字机后，开始给农场主布朗写留言条。当它们觉得牛棚太冷时，竟然要求电热毯！随着奶牛罢工、母鸡声援，布朗先生最终达成协议——农场终于恢复了往日的和谐。
Older Primary G3-5 年级小学生
Our older primary students continued exploring books by Mac Barnett. The Skunk tells the story of a man who is relentlessly pursued by a solemn, determined little skunk. From the opera to taxicabs to the ferris wheel, there seems to be no escape! Eventually, the man finds a world without the skunk—but soon begins to miss it and turns back to follow the skunk instead. We discussed the possible meanings behind the story and talked about how picture books are created, especially since our students are writing their own books right now. Then we read How This Book Was Made—what a funny and clever story!
我们高年级的小学生们继续深入探索麦克·巴内特的精彩作品集。《臭鼬》讲述了一位先生被一只严肃执着的小臭鼬穷追不舍的奇妙故事——从歌剧院到出租车，再到摩天轮，他始终无法摆脱这个小跟班！最终当先生终于来到没有臭鼬的世界时，却开始想念它，反而转身追随起臭鼬来。课堂上，我们探讨了这个故事背后的深意，并结合学生们正在创作的个人绘本，特别讨论了图画书的创作过程。最后共读了《这本书是怎么做的》——真是个充满巧思的幽默故事！

董老师正在阅读玛德琳·米勒的《喀耳刻》。虽然我对喀耳刻的神话传说已十分熟悉，但米勒的写作风格实在令人着迷——她构筑的世界如此丰盈，让我仿佛亲历每个情节，与角色同悲同喜。真后悔没有早点翻开这本书！
