Give Me Five Book Bags
We are bringing home a ziploc bag of five books to read for fun. You can keep the bag for as long as you like. When your child is done reading through their book bag send it back to school. After returning one Give Me Five book bag your child will choose another bag to bring home. Our library staff and parent volunteers have generously given their time and resources to provide this early literacy program to our kindergarteners. Happy Reading!
Scholastic Book Orders
From time to time I will send home a Scholastic book order. Book orders can be a fun way to get your child excited about reading. Scholastic books are usually offered at fair prices. Plus your order will help our classroom earn books for our classroom library and other resources. Another way to use the orders is to let your child circle the books they would like to read. Then make a list of those books and check them out from a St. Charles County Library.
