It's Wednesday! What's happening in the Sommer Library?

New Year, new books!

Welcome back from Winter Break, Sommer Stallions!  We are happy to see you in the library for your regular classroom visits this week.  There is a new face to greet you at the circulation desk--Ms. Betsy Melton!

Ms. Melton is our new library assistant, and comes to us with years of experience helping other librarians in RRISD schools.  We are happy to have her on board; be sure to introduce yourself when you pop into the library!

Reminder:  ALL books that were checked out before Winter Break are due this week!  This includes science fair experiment books, which must be renewed if you need to keep them until the competition is over.

Speaking of the Science Fair--the library will be closed for student checkouts next Monday, January 14th for science fair judging.

This week's lessons:

Kindergarteners are learning some life lessons via Oliver Jeffers' book Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth.

First and second grades are listening to the fractured Mother Goose story After the Fall: How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again by Dan Santat.

Third through fifth grades are reviewing our library expectations and skills with a Nearpod lesson on our iPads.

On display this month:  books about winter, weather, and the seasons; author Russell Hoban and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats; and science fiction.

See you soon in the stacks!
