Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing fall break! It was nice to have some time off but I hope everyone is back and ready to have a great 2nd quarter. I know I am!

Last week in the library we read another of our AYRA nominees, "Shivers in the Fridge" by Fran Manushkin. The Shivers are a family that live in a refrigerator and the kids had a good time trying to figure out just who they were and what was happening to them during the story. The ending was a surprise to every class but it was fun hearing the kids' imaginative guesses before I revealed the end. Ask your child who the Shivers were!

Mr. Miller's class was kind enough to contribute their class book called "The Important Book" to our Student Published Library. I read their book aloud to them last week and I was really impressed with their illustrations and how they were able to say so much in just a few lines of text. Great job to Mr. Miller's class and thanks for sharing your work! Check out their book in the library or on Mr. Miller's class page.
