This Week in the Library...

The Penny War has begun!!

Also, we are reading from a Story Collection this week...
There are six stories in this collection, and they are the sweetest Christmas stories. We will be sharing several of them during the next two weeks.

This week in the Library...

...we will be learning about our December service project!

We will be collecting our spare change through a "Penny War!" The money collected will be donated to Feed the Children Vallarta & School of Champions. A family from our school is traveling to Puerto Vallarta this Christmas, and will be delivering our donation along with a Christmas card that we are all signing during our library time. I'm so excited to be sharing the bounty that we are blessed with, with others that are not as fortunate. SO, be saving up your spare change, ask your parents if there are any extra things you could do around the house to earn a little money to share with these wonderful children in Puerto Vallarta.


The "Penny War" guidelines & rules are posted HERE, and your teacher will also go over them with you. I can't wait for the fun to begin, next Monday!

Our Kindergarten classes get to check out books this week! We've been practicing putting books back on the shelf the right way, and learning how to take care of library books, and now comes the true test! They will be checking out books and taking them back to class with them, then remembering to bring them with them next week when they come back to library. That might be harder than it sounds, but they are all amazing students, and I know they will be responsible with their library books.

The rest of our students will be getting ready for Thanksgiving by reading Thanksgiving Treat by Catherine Stock.
