The Twelve Days of Reading!

I LOVE doing the Twelve Days of Reading each year!

Normally we have a contest of sorts... we keep track of our reading minutes and the class with the highest total minutes earns a movie, craft, and treat in the Media Center.  Other years we've had a party where the top five readers (based on how many minutes they read during the 12 days) get to come to the Media Center and participate in different activities.  This year with all the wonderful craziness of opening a new school we've decided to change it up a bit...

Instead of keeping track of how many minutes we read, we will just READ!  For FUN!  Every opportunity we get during the first 12 school days in December!

So, cozy up with a good book, and READ!

Continued Gratitude

This week I am grateful for LOVE.  You can't buy it, but you sure can share it and feel it!

Ivy Loves to Give by Freya Blackwood (PIC B) is one of the sweetest books.  We will be sharing LOVE in the Library this week with Ivy.

One of the things I'm grateful for this week is my WARM bed.  (I think everyone is =)  This is the story that came to my mind when I thought of my warm bed.  Mine isn't as crowded as this one, thank heavens!

This story actually has three of the things I'm grateful for this week... my warm bed, rain, and SUNSHINE!  Enjoy!

I am grateful for good friends...

During the month of November, I like to think of one thing I'm grateful for each day (I can think of SO many more, but let's just go with one a day for now =)  I post them on a wall here in our Media Center for all to see.  This week one of the things I am thankful for are good friends (I was blessed with 500 new friends when I came to Riverview =) and that prompted our story this week...
