New School Year, New Books!

The last box of books that I bought with book fair money has been unpacked (purchases from the spring are listed here), as well as the ones that I bought with my district budget. If you are reading this before your first library checkout, you can go ahead put holds on any titles you'd like to read via Destiny Discover.

Not a Box! (continued) with K

One of the most important roles I have as a library teacher is cultivating my students' imaginations. In K, we read Not a Box by Antoinette Portis; the main character creates all kinds of play scenarios with a simple cardboard box. Then the kids drew their ideas for our own continuation of the book. Here are some sample pages ... your family can borrow our book to see them all!
