One Book Two Book festival - writing opportunity
I also wanted to remind everyone about the One Book Two Book writing festival. Students in grades 1-8 are encouraged to submit a one page of writing for the 2017 One Book Two Book festival from the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature. This can be any type of writing, must be original work, and written this school year. Deadline is Friday, December 16. Please open the link for more information. I am telling students about this opportunity during library class. If your child is interested in participating, please let me know!

Also, Fifth and sixth grade students in the Iowa City Community School District received a generous gift. Local children’s author, Delia Ray, recently spoke to students in all of our elementary schools. She was our 2016 Visiting Author, a long-standing literacy program sponsored by Hills Bank and Trust and donors to the ICCSD Foundation. Art and Ginger Nowak, local education supporters, wanted to ensure that every fifth and sixth grade student had one of her books. We graciously accept this gift of a Delia Ray book, Here Lies Linc, for each child who had not yet obtained one, and we thank them for their extreme generosity.
This week, we switched gears to prepare for Computer Science week next week! We watched a video that discussed what Computer Science is and what programmers do. Students were amazed to see some of the famous people in the video! We also took a quick look at deciphering coding examples as a large group.
Book checkout day is on WEDNESDAY for Mrs. Mulligan.
