Happy Autumn Everyone!

What a great start to the school year we’ve had. All classes are right back into the swing of things and even our newest Kindergarten friends are coming to library class and borrowing books like pros. We’ve done all of our “Backpack of Doom” lessons and everyone knows to treat their books “like a baby”. (Ask your student about our book in a diaper.)

October is “Pick a Reading Partner” (PARP) month. The PTA has set up so many fun activities to encourage everyone to read a little bit more this month. On Friday October 25^th the PTA is bringing author/illustrator Troy Cummings to Stonehedge! He’s the creator of the wildly popular “Notebook of Doom” series as well as numerous picture books. He’ll talk to our students about the importance of reading as well as his artistic process.

In honor of PARP we will have two Open Library Nights this month: Monday October 7^th and Thursday October 24^th. The library will be open for browsing, quiet reading and book check out from 6:30-7:30. It’s a great opportunity to promote that extra reading time. We hope to see you there!!!

Don’t forget to

READ4FUN!

Mrs. Abbott

Hi Everyone! The previously scheduled Open Library for August 20th has been canceled. (Mrs. Abbott and Mrs. Graser can not be there.) So...tomorrow will be the last Open Library. Come see us from 10am -noon. Book Worms still meet tomorrow and the 20th, so books can be returned on those days.

We are looking forward to our first “Open Library Morning” tomorrow from 10-noon. The Gold Lobby is under construction, so please enter the building from the Blue side.
