A Gift for You!

Christmas week both second and third graders used TuxPaint, a free painting program, to draw a seasonal picture and make a label or a sentence about their work. You can have TuxPaint on your computer at home, too - download it here. Happy Holidays!!

Ladybug Winner

With 3,467 votes statewide, Waking Beauty, written by Leah Wilcox, was the picture book chosen by the children of NH to win the 2009 Ladybug Award. Here at NHCS, Waking Beauty was an instant hit due to its unusual illustrations, its rhyming pattern, and its humor! If you like this book, Leah Wilcox also wrote another fractured fairy tale called Falling for Rapunzel. We have that book in the NHCS Library Media Center, too!
