December 2010

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We had another wildly successful Scholastic Bookfair in November.
Your overwhelming support is always appreciated. We tried what I would like to think will be our first of many Community Bookfairs. Authors Missy Griffin, Michelle Houts, Linda Sanders-Wells and Brandon Marie Miller all joined us to sign autographs, Lexi our reading therapy dog and fun activities of decorating bookmarks and book bags made our day much fun. And we had some stiff competition...the Amazons were conquering in the State championship game that very same day. Congratulations Amazons!!! If you weren't able to join us this year, hopefully you can next year. It was a fun family event.

We've spent our first week of December learning about Hanukkah by reading some fantastic non-fiction and following up with many tales of goblins, latkes and dreidels. Next week we will switch gears and jump into some Christmas favorites as well as some new stories that are sure to become favorites.

As we get ready for our winter break, your child may bring home extra library books. We want to make sure that they have plenty of reading material during their time away. Please encourage them to take time to read everyday!

Thank you for all of your support to help your child love to read. Have a safe and happy holiday!!
