Maud Squad Social & Book Discussion
Whether you want to read all ten nominated Maud Squad books or just one, you are welcome to join us for our social on Thursday, December 10, from 2:30 - 3:00 PM. It will be relaxing to take a break from the day and meet new people. To sign up, log into Schoology and enter the code: RFNF-HTHN-Z92B7
Our discussion of Posted by John David Anderson will be on Tuesday, December 22, time TBD.
Where can you get the books?:
BHMS - print (request through Destiny), eBooks through MackinVia
Dakota County Library - print, eBook, and eAudio. If all of their copies are out, you'll notice that you can get a copy through Hoopla within DCL. Here's a tip: If Hoopla is at its maximum checkout for the day, just try it again early in the morning.
Share Your Creativity
Don't sit around the house being bored. Here's your chance to be a published photographer and build a culture of reading in our BHMS family. Look through the list of ideas below, take your photo, and send it to Ms. Ninteman. The photo will be in one of our future publications.
Photo Ideas
1. Take a picture of yourself or your family reading in a favorite place in your home, yard or park trail
2. Take a picture of yourself reading with a pet
3. Using materials found around the home, take a photo of yourself/family reenacting a scene from a picture book
4. Using materials found around the home, take a photo of yourself as a character from a book
5. Other ideas that you have to celebrate reading!
*All photos need to be appropriate for school audiences. (Example: No weapons.)
