Winter and Early Spring
in the Library
Bookfair Volunteers
Can you believe it's almost that time again? See the sign up sheet here. Our set up will be Friday Feb. 24 from about 10:30-1 (we have to set up early because of a grades 3-5 club afternoon that Ms. Oliverson is involved with) and then the fair will run Monday Feb. 27 through Fri. March 3 (M-Th 8:20ish to 3:30, Fri 8:20-12). You will need to create a simple login to sign up to volunteer. It's how we'll remind you of your time slot and one way you can contact us if you end up having to cancel.
Bookfair Shopping
If you plan to visit with your students please come during lunchtime, recess, or after school until 3:30. We can take cash, credit cards, or checks made payable to the school (this is different than the monthly book clubs). We DO have to collect sales tax.
If you can't make it by 3:30 shop anytime online! The link is not live yet ... but later on this month you can go HERE for a link to shop and support our school library and shop titles that sell out quickly at the bookfair or that weren't even available at the bookfair! Shipping to school is free and still benefits the library!
Here are three examples of Read Along books you can find in our Overdrive collection. (There are also "just" picture books and "just" audio picture books on Overdrive ... I'm highlighting the readalongs in this newsletter!)
Follow along with your eyes. See the pictures. See the words.
Listen to the text read aloud! All it takes is a device connected to the internet and your student's ID number!
To access Overdrive download the free app and search for the NEISD collection. Enter your students ID number. Parents may contact Ms. Oliverson to get their OWN account and gain access to the entire collection (MS and HS books as well as the elementary level).
There are all sorts of chapter books also available on Overdrive.
And anthologies! The Guys Read series is one of Ms. Oliverson's favorites. Guys AND Girls can read these ... each chapter shares a story by a well known author!
And all sorts of audio books you can listen to!
New Tables Are Coming!
Have you "liked" our FB page yet? We'll post pics there when they arrive. If the walls didn't give the place a whole new look the new tables and storytime rug definitely will!
