BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
This is not my hat by Jon Klassen
New Caldecott award winning book, hilarious. About a little fish who stole a hat and was delusional about the consequences.
Pickle by Kim Baker
What happens when a small group of students decides to form a prank club? Some hilarious results with some tough consequences...
They Played What?!
Non-fiction book about sports and entertainment through the years. Fascinating and sometimes disgusting look at past and present practices.

First author visit was Laurel Snyder http://laurelsnyder.com and she visited via Skype with only Year 6.

BOOK EXCHANGE IN THE LIBRARY!
February/March Family Project: Do your children have too many books on their shelves? Would you like to make room for new ones? Perhaps take time with your children to think about clearing out books they have grown out of or no longer enjoy, send your children to the library with the books to swap them!
Thanks for reading!
