Marshmallow Reading Challenge
Blogging about Books
Do you want your kids to start blogging about the books they are reading? Would you like for them to be able to interact with each other about their books?
Reading Rewards has a great website and tracking system for kids to keep track of what they are reading and blog.
Check it out here! If you need any help or want me to help set your kids up during library time, just let me know.
February Puppet Show
Don't miss this puppet show! Students will hear the story of how 2 teenagers sent a Lego man into space with items they bought from Craig's List. Students will create their own Lego avatar and will then create research questions that will springboard them into a library research project about space. Research project will take place during library time the weeks following the puppet show.
