We are getting ready for our online
Fall Scholastic Book Fair!
Families will be able to shop from thousands of books, delivered to your door. If you buy $25 worth of books, shipping is free! There will even be a virtual Book Fair with 360 degree views to walk through--we're really looking forward to that!
Proceeds from the Book Fair help fund supplies and books for the library, like this new book cart we just bought to house our incoming collection of PreK boardbooks.
Please consider shopping for our teachers' wishlists! They would love some new books for their classroom libraries. There's a wishlist for the school library, too, for books to give to students in need.

Our Fall Scholastic Book Fair runs from November 23rd through December 6th--just in time for holiday gifts!
Read-alouds and lessons this week:
PreK has been talking about identifying and managing anger, so we're reading Fergal and the Bad Temper by Robert Starling.
Kindergarten classes are studying animal characteristics. I Am a Tiger is a silly story about a mouse who insists he's a tiger, raccoon is a caterpillar, snake is a banana...we're giggling as we discuss the true characteristics! Written by Karl Newson, illustrated by Ross Collins:
Second graders are reviewing story elements with The Panda Problem by Deborah Underwood, illustrated by Scott Magoon. What do you do when your main character doesn't have a problem to overcome? You make one up!
Third through fifth graders are learning about the limiters in our online catalog, to narrow down their searches for good-fit books. We can limit our findings by genre, material type, reading levels, and publication years.
We are off for Thanksgiving Break next week--stay healthy, shop the Book Fair, and spend some time reading!
