Crestview Library Update
September/October
Book Fair
We took $742.94 of product (99 books) from the fair. The contest winners items totaled $91.85 and teacher/staff discounts equaled $65.29. All of these figures come out of our total profit. Our total cash profit was $1767.05. That is more than last year so that is nice. We used our previous profit(from multiple fairs) to purchase the paperback spinner racks, a rug, small shelf, new small sofa, and a book order. We ordered one more paperback rack and will pay for it using this fair's profits as well as other items needed for the library. Thanks again for all of your cooperation and patience to help make this a great success for our school! Charlie even convinced Mr.Langston to wear the fuzzy monster hat.
Fall Book Order
It is fall book order time. Please go to the Fall Book Order Google Doc and request titles to supplement the learning taking place in your classrooms. Based on the responses that I received this summer, we were able to add many beginner chapter books, high interest series titles, and some Newbery winners or nominees. During our end of the school inventory and analysis of the collection, it was determined that our space titles were in dire need of replacing due to inaccurate information and age of titles. Books about space were ordered as well as math titles and other high interest books.
Learning Spotlight-Kindergarten
Bat Research
We read an informational text about bats and then took notes about what we learned from the book.
Bat Research and Bat Books
Each class did research and created their own bat books.
Our Bat Book
After studying number books, we used the number book format to share what we learned about bats from our informational text.
