The Book Fair is coming! The Book Fair is coming!
The evening Book Fair will be on September 15th from 6:00pm-8:00pm. Sampson and Delilah the therapy dogs will be visiting from 6:00pm-8:00pm. I will need help to make the event run smoothly. Please let me know ASAP if you can help. You will be rewarded for your time. :)
Battle of the Books
I'm hosting a Battle of the Books this year! I'm REALLY excited! 4th and 5th graders will be invited to join the Battle this year. The books on the Bluestem Award List will be used in the Battle. The LMC Directors in the VVSD are teaming up for a District Battle for the top student teams at each school. Our School Battle will take place in January, and the top teams will advance to the District Battle in February. All dates will be announced later. I'd love to get a few staff teams to participate, too! I think the kids would be excited to see staff members participating. Let me know if you are interested. Each team can divide the book list so you don't have to read all 20 books.
Teacher Library Cards
Amanda sent out an email about teacher library cards from Fountiandale Library. In case you missed it... If you had a teacher library card last year from Fountaindale Library, please let me know ASAP, so I can forward your name to them to renew your card. If you need a card for the first time, fill out the application that was attached to the email from Amanda. If you deleted the email, let me know and I will re-send it. Also, if you need books pulled from Fountaindale Library to use in the classroom let me know and I will handle the request. I have to fill out paperwork on InterLibrary Loans to receive state funding each year, and it is easier for me to fill out the paperwork if I handle staff requests for Fountaindale. Thanks!! :)
