Library Needs

I am in need of round plastic table cloths to put on the library tables for Art class on Tuesdays.  I am sure Dollar Tree probably has them.  If you feel moved to help, please send them to me at the library.  Thank you so much!!

BookFlix and Osmo

We have a subscription this year to Scholastic's BookFlix. 32 pairs of books, each pair has a fiction and a nonfiction book. Geared specifically to K through 2nd grade.  Login information will be coming home soon.

Take a look at Playosmo.com. If you have an iPad, this would be a great Christmas present. They are offering a current promotion of buy one for $80 and donate one to a school of your choice. Check it out!

Local radio station WDKN is conducting a contest for Educator of the Month throughout this year.  Here is the link to the page where the nomination form is located.  The form may not show up on iPhones or other smart phones but it is available on computers.  There are many deserving educators out there!  You and your child can nominate away!!  http://www.wdkn.com/contest/educator-of-the-month/

Volunteer help needed!

Now that students are checking out books (not kindergarten) regularly, I would love to have volunteers who can come an hour or so a week to help re-shelve library books. Tuesdays are the only days that I cannot accept helpers because art is in the library all day on Tuesdays. I have always had student helpers in the mornings but my duties have changed therefore I am not in the library in the mornings.  Please let me know if you can help at all.

AR HomeConnect

Parents, if you are interested in receiving an email every time your child takes an Accelerated  Reader comprehension test, visit https://hosted296.tenlearn.com/80896/HomeConnect. Your child's username and password gives you access. 3rd through 5th graders all know their login information. Most 2nd graders should know it. 1st graders are just now learning about AR and how to login. 1st graders library/reading log folders have the login information. Kindergarten does not use AR.
