Greenville Drive Reading All-Stars
Twenty-seven Fork Shoals students participated in this year's Greenville Drive Reading All-Stars program. These students will be recognized at the Greenville Drive game at Fluor Field on Monday, April 15th, at 7:05pm. Participating students received one free ticket to the game. At the celebration game, students will receive a free t-shirt and have the opportunity to march around the field in a Parade of Champions.
Participating students are reminding to be at Fluor Field at 6pm on the day of the celebration game to redeem ticket vouchers, pick up t-shirts, and line up for the Parade of Champions.
Any friends or family members who wish to attend the celebration game must purchase additional game tickets.
Book of the Week: 1 Zany Zoo by Lori Degman and Colin Jack
1 Zany Zoo, written by Lori Degman and illustrated by Colin Jack, was nominated for the 2012-13 South Carolina Picture Book Award.
The best part about 1 Zany Zoo has to be the illustrations. Colin Jack’s exciting pictures bring to mind Disney favorites, most especially the Banks’ children’s journey into the magical paintings in Mary Poppins. Children will enjoy counting the different animals in this book as well as looking for the mischievous fox that has stolen the zookeeper’s keys. (He appears in every panel–in some form or fashion.)
Any young reader getting ready to visit the zoo should definitely check out this charming book. It would be fun to hear what they think zoo animals do while no one is watching!
