Camp Reading: Read S'more Books!

Spring is here and what better time to camp out with a good book?  Titche Tigers in grades K-5 visited the library on Friday to receive their free RIF book and participate in a little "camping."  While waiting to select their books, students could gain some context for the idea of camping by watching a video clip of "Clifford Goes Camping".  After choosing a new book, students could sit around the "fire" or cozy up in the tent to read for a few minutes.  Upon exiting the library, the students received a "Read S'more Books" bookmark and a marshmallow treat.  Thanks to Ms. Snipes for building our fire and to Ms. Campbell for loaning us a sleeping bag and donating marshmallows to encourage all our Titche Tigers to READ S'MORE BOOKS!!

Building Readers!

Thanks to everyone who supported our last Scholastic Book Club order!  We had 40 students make the best investment money can buy...books!  Our book order totaled over $250.00!  I'm so excited that so many students are building their personal libraries at home!  I will do another book order at the end of this month so if you didn't get in on this one, don't worry.  You will have another chance soon!




Read S'more Books!

Hello Titche Tigers!  Just a note that I had to reschedule the RIF day we were going to have last Friday.  Instead we will have our fun book giveaway day on April 26.  Spring is a wonderful time to go camping...so get ready to camp out in our library with a good book.  I want all Titche students to get ready to....

I'm looking forward it it and hope you are too!

Book Return Builders

Thanks to a great book fair last fall, we had enough Scholastic dollars to purchase a nice new book return!  However, it did not arrive assembled so I enlisted the help of a couple of 5th grade student council members to help me put it together.  These young ladies were pretty sharp...I don't know what I would have done without them!  Who says girls can't build stuff??  GIRL POWER!!  :)  Thanks, young ladies!












Fun Websites

I wanted to let all you parents and kids know about a couple of fun resources that Scholastic has put together.  One is called "Stacks" and it is geared toward 8-12 year olds and features all kinds of information, games, and activities about all your favorite books and characters!  The other site is called "Family Playground" and it is designed for 3-7 year olds.  It also has lots of fun stuff about characters and books such as Clifford, I Spy, Magic School Bus and more! 

Check them out when you get a chance!
