Celebrate your right to read!

This is one of my favorite activities to do with 5th graders.  Every year, we observe the American Library Association's Banned Book Week.   I pull books that have been challenged or banned and put them together and let the kids try to figure out what they have in common with each other, but NOT with the rest of the books in the library.  Then we talk about rights, responsibilities, and censorship issues.

Thanks for Shopping!

Thanks so much to everyone who came to our Fall Book Fair!  And a BIG THANK YOU to all our wonderful volunteers - we could not do this without you!

Our ONLINE book fair had already started and will be open until October 3rd.  You can shop there 24/7 and books will be shipped to your child at school no later than October 12th.

In addition, we will once again collect change for ALL FOR BOOKS.  Scholastic will match the amount of money we collect to provide books for schools in Louisiana that were recently flooded.
Thank you for helping with this worthy cause.
