Fourth Grade Bookmark Contest

All 4th grade students have been invited to participate in the 1st Annual Fowler Library Book Mark Contest. Mrs. Hayward has met with each class and introduced the theme - "Our Library....the Heart of Our School!" There are additional templates available in the library if your student needs one. All book marks are due in the library by Friday February 9. Every 4th grade class will have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winner who will be announced at the all-grade award ceremony on Friday February 16!

Eighth grade students are publishing books!

Over the next two months our eighth grade students will be transformed into published authors as they begin writing and illustrating picture books during their regularly scheduled Zone blocks. Each eighth grade student will receive a writing kit in order to create an authentic children’s picture book to represent concepts or information in one of the content areas they are studying; math, Spanish, science, ELA, or history. Students will use a project rubric to take their writing through the steps of the writing process; prewriting, writing, revising, editing, and publishing, to produce an original published book. This project will be supported by the eighth grade team of teachers and the Reading Specialist, Denise Hatch.

Each student will receive his/her own professionally bound softcover book published by Student Treasures Publishing Company. The softcover book is FREE! There will be an opportunity for students to purchase hardcover books, but there is absolutely NO OBLIGATION to do so. Information regarding the purchase of additional books will be sent home at a later date. The deadline for students to complete the project is Friday, April 13th (the day before April vacation). All of the writing kits will need to be mailed to the company the following week in order to meet our publishing deadline. The books take approximately 20 business days to complete the publishing process and then will be mailed back to the school for distribution to students. Teachers are working on plans for opportunities for students to share their published books and an authors’ celebration. More information will be shared in the near future as the details of these plans are finalized.
