Library Mouse and Pinkalicious

This week I had an opportunity to read "Library Mouse" by Daniel Kirk to the Kinders, 1st and 2nd graders. The Kinders also had a lesson on how to use shelf markers which included our Shelf Marker Song. They caught on quickly and seemed to have a lot of fun singing in the library. Ask your child if they can sing it for you! Each child got to practice individually using their shelf marker and they did a great job.

The 3rd - 5th graders heard "Pinkalicious" by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann. Some of the boys were a bit hesitant based on the title, the girl dressed like a fairy princess on the cover and the overall pinkness of the book but they everyone ended up enjoying it a great deal. If your child liked this story you may want to look at the public library for other titles in the series, including "Purplicious" and "Goldilicious".

The children continue to make great contributions to our Student Published Work section which is growing each week. Hopefully you'll have a chance to come by and view your child's published work sometime this year.
