Our Spring Book Fair was a success! We came very close to our goal of surpassing last Spring's sales and students went home with many, many free books! In addition, the library received about twenty-five new titles - free! All in all, a great book event!
Stay tuned! Our Back-to-School Book Fair is already booked for September!

How to Choose A "Just Right" Book
First graders listened to the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We linked Goldilock's "just right" experience to the choosing of books to read for pleasure. We made lists of ways to find a "just right" book, then each student wrote one "Goldilocks Rule" on a Google Presentation slide. Next students posed for a photo of themselves acting out their "rule". Students learned to resize and position their photos so that they fit on the slide. Then the slides were compiled into a helpful slide show that can be shown to young readers for years to come!
