Success!!!

Wow! We had a g-r-r-r-eat book fair last week!  Can you believe Titche kids, parents, and staff bought over $3,000 worth of books and goodies?  How exciting is that! And the even better news is that our Titche library gets to keep $1774 in Scholastic dollars!  That means I can order all kinds of neat stuff for the library and new books for our book clubs from Scholastic!  I'm so excited!  Thanks to everyone who came out and supported our All-Star book fair...it was a smashing success! :)

Also, yesterday was our first My Very Own Book giveaway! It was so fun to get to give almost 150 student brand new books to take home and keep!  I hope that we quadruple that number next six weeks!  That means you all need to be reading every single night and tracking your minutes on your reading logs.  Remember, there are minimum reading minutes required in order to qualify for a certificate and a free book.  Just because you turn in a log doesn't automatically mean you get a free book...you have to read the required amount of minutes for your grade level! 

In case you need a reminder of what those requirements are....

PK-1st

100 minutes-Bronze

300 min- Silver

400 min- Gold

2nd-3rd

350 minutes- Bronze

500 minutes- Silver

600 minutes- Gold

4th-5th

600 minutes- Bronze

800 minutes- Silver

900 minutes- Gold

As you can see, my upper grade students really have to stay on it....you have to read at least 20 minutes a day, 7 days per week, in order to qualify for a free book! You can do it though...especially reading some of those new interesting books you bought at the book fair last week! :)  

Let's keep up the great work, Titche Tigers! Thanks for supporting your school library!
