Was Thursday, October 2nd a regular, old, normal
day? Goodness No! Eric Litwin visited Stonehedge and had us
rockin’ in the Red Gym. Thanks to our
eternally awesome PTA, we were able to host the author of the first four “Pete
the Cat” books. Mr. Litwin played his guitar, sang songs and led our kids
through the telling of some of their favorite Pete stories as well as his new
book Bedtime at the Nut House. We even got to hear some sneak previews of
some new books and a new character who is sure to be as “ga-roovy” as
Pete. Students and teachers of all ages
really got into the show. It was, as
Pete would say, “All Good!”
Eric’s performance was the kick off for October as PARP
(Parents as Reading Partners) month. We
had quite a few people at the first Open Library Night on October 7th,
but we’re hoping for a full house on the next one which is Thursday October 23rd
from 6:30-7:30. The library will be open
for checking out books and the fun part is that families are encouraged to
check out whatever they like, without the restrictions students may have during
the day. You may check out items for the whole family to share and as many
items as you can keep track of. Items that
your family checks out during Open Library Night do not have to be returned at
your child’s next library day. We encourage you to keep them and enjoy them
together throughout October and return them when PARP is over. So, come see us
on the 23rd, and remember… “Cool Cats Read” and at Stonehedge we
always “Read4Fun”!
