Something new: Our Library was recently given a set of books
called “We Both Read” through a grant. The purpose of this grant is to
encourage dads and father figures to read with their children. Families who choose to participate by reading
these books together will be invited to attend a dinner at the end of the
year.
We have recently purchased biographies of all 44
presidents. These books are all
Accelerated Reader 4th – 5th grade
reading range and report friendly. We have also purchased several books to catch the
interest of our youngest readers – our Kindergarten and first grade students! Our Library strongly encourages all of our
students to be active in Accelerated Reading. Towards that goal, we are
always looking for high-interest books.
We help, encourage, and support students so they can be
successful in their quiz taking. There is a web site for those families who want
to find out if the books in their home libraries are Accelerated
Reader books. The web site is www.arbookfind.com There is a display of books by authors who have a
birthday in August. Some of the familiar authors are: Frank Asch, Betsy Byars, Joanna Cole
(Magic School Bus), Paula Danziger, Don
Freeman, Deborah and James Howe, Bill Wallace and many more.
We have many new books in the library. These are just a few: 3 new Calvin & Hobbs
