HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THESE DATES.. NOVEMBER 5TH - 8TH
EVERYONE LOVES OUR BOOKS!
Over the trees,
Winging their way
In a stiff fall breeze,
A flock of birds
Is flying along
Southward, for winter,
Singing a song.
Singing a song
They all like to sing,
"We'll see you again
When it's spring, spring, spring."

Where do you shop for food? Well, the students in graded 2 found out about another store and lots of different foods while reading The Witches' Supermarket by Susan Meddaugh. This is no ordinary, everyday supermarket. And when Helen and her dog, Martha, find themselves caught inside, they'll need luck and lots of Halloween magic to begin trick-or-treating on time.
Students also read some spooktacular poems out loud from a collection of 21 spooktacular poems entitled Halloween Night by Charles Ghigna.
Brave 1st graders listened to the New York Times bestseller entitled Tell Me a Scary Story..But Not Too Scary by Carl Reiner. Everyone loves scary stories, and comedy legend Carl Reiner invites readers to huddle close as he tells a young boy's tale of the mysterious house next door.
In Alpha and K students learned about three mischievous ghosts who love scaring little children, until the children decide to take matters into their own hands. Children made predictions while listening to Three Little Ghosties by Pippa Goodhart.
In another book entitled Beautiful OOps! by Barney Saltzberg, K children learned how to take a mistake and turn it into an opportunity to make something beautiful! This book is the best gift to give anyone, any age, anywhere, anytime.
In 3rd grade students had fun as they try to spot the plot in the book entitled Spot the Plot (a riddle book of book riddles) by J. Patrick Lewis. They used the clues to figure out the title and author of some famous children's books. At the end of the lesson, they worked on library analogies...it was fun to watch the students think through these questions.
In Alpha, students enjoyed the book by Dolly Parton entitled I Am A Rainbow in which words and music describe different emotions in terms of color, as then everything is rosy when one feels joyful. It reminded the reader and the listeners that everyone experiences this same rainbow of emotions.
Volunteers, volunteers, volunteers.....we have seen so many wonderful volunteers since school started. Thanks to the hard work and very flexible schedule that Andi Mullins has provided for training. I am very thankful for the new "Thanksgiving look" in the library thanks to Andi and the wonderful other volunteers who decorated and pulled the new author books.
Another BIG THANK YOU goes out to Jackie Spoto Bircher and the fantastic work she has done to make the annual Book Fair happen this year. She worked on Sunday to unpack the fair and has scheduled the classes and the volunteers. They are all such an important part of our program and very much appreciated. Pirate hats off to all of our very, very valuable volunteers !! Thank you all so much for making a commitment to help out this year.
