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

Welcome Back!!

We had a busy couple of weeks in the library before fall break but now we're back and ready to go and I found some time to update our blog.



We had a great time the week before book fair learning about a genre called metafiction. Ask your child about metafiction and why those books can be so much fun. We read a book called Chester by Melanie Watt (and Chester). The kids loved this book and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the sequel. The Kinders also heard Mr. Pusskins by Sam Lloyd. This was a book the school fell in love with last year so I wanted them to get a chance to hear it.



The following week was the book fair which many of you came and participated in. Instead of our normal routine during library time, we took each class through the book fair to allow them time to check out the selection. All the classes did a great job adjusting to our space constraints and helped to have another successful book fair. A special thanks to all the moms and dads who came and lent a hand during the book fair. And thanks to the Brightenfields, Browns and Lewis' for their generous donation of new books for the library!



Hope everyone is rested up and ready to go this week!
