It's Wednesday! What's going on in the AME Library?

We still have a lot of new books waiting to be checked out!  Ms Margocs unboxed the last shipment, and here are some of the new additions to our collection:

It is checkout week for first through fifth grades.  Students with clear accounts--no overdues or bills from this school year--can check out books for winter break.  (We have books for those who may not have clear accounts, too.)  Please do your best to keep your library books in the same safe place each week so you can bring them back and get new ones!

PreK and kindergarten classes are helping Ms Margocs read wordless books this week:

PreK is reading Wolf in the Snow by Matthew Cordell.

Kindergarten is going on a Hike, by illustrator Pete Oswald.

Wordless books help build vocabulary, visual literacy, and oral communication; illustrate story sequencing; and are great prompts for student writing.

Next week is our second annual AME Read-Aloud Marathon!

We are soliciting readers from our learning community to share their favorite books at the top of each hour throughout our school day, next Tuesday through Thursday.  Twenty-one read-alouds in three days!  Ms Margocs will be hosting the read-alouds via Meet, so we won't have regular library visits.  Students who need to clear their accounts or refresh their books before break may come in small groups during their regular library times.  We will also be distributing a special gift to each student courtesy of the AME Library, Library Services, PTA, and our Parent Support program!

Keep on reading, Dillos!
