Library books will begin to get checked out once the students have taken the beginning reading tests and receive their reading levels and all library cards have been made for each student in grades 1-5. I look forward to all the happy readers ready to check out books! 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders will have an extra check out time each morning after breakfast. A schedule is posted.
Our 6th Annual Bookmark Contest will kick off in November. Each student will receive a blank bookmark to decorate and celebrate reading. A winner from each grade will be chosen. We have had such creative bookmarks submitted each year. Each grade level winner will receive a certificate, have the bookmark copied for everyone in his/her grade, and receive a new book. The winner's photos will also be in the local paper.
Our 2nd Annual Bookcover Contest will kick off in March. Each student will receive a blank book cover to decorate their favorite book ever! Winners will be chosen from each grade. Our students are very creative!! Prizes will be given for all winners.
All library books will need to start being returned on May 1st. No new check-outs will be after that day. I will begin working on a library inventory.
Please find those books or pay your fine.
