Two of the first grade classes chose to make movies about their butterfly gardens. We recently completed these and you can watch the movies by clicking the links below. One more class is still working on their project. Mrs. Hitchen's class is making a game and we may even try our hand at creating several short apps - so it is taking a little longer for this interesting project. Stay tuned for more information when their project is completed!

Butterfly Garden E-Books
All of the first grade classes have been working on projects in the media center about their butterfly gardens. Two of our first grade classes chose to write books and we completed them this week. They are available as e-books on the Internet and I have also made them accessible in our Destiny Quest online patron catalog. You can click on this link for Destiny Quest and search by the book name. When you find the book icon, click it and then click on "open" and the book will open in another window where you can read it.
Or you can click the links below to take you directly to the books:

Students in kindergarten through 4th grade vote for their favorite picture book. Classroom teachers have been reading these books to their classes since September. Fourth and fifth grade students who wish to vote on chapter books read from the list independently. They must read at least two of the books to vote. The books on the nominee list are also the ones that are used in the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl that our 5th grade "Battle of the Books" team competed in recently. Fourth graders will be forming a team to compete with the 5th graders in May.

Tomorrow...
We are so excited about Read Across America and Dr. Seuss' Birthday tomorrow! With mid-winter break, snow days, a media specialist meeting on February 23rd, and a staff only day last Friday, it has been 2 weeks since I've seen students and I miss then! We have lots of guest readers coming in the morning to read to homeroom classes and many teachers have additional guests coming throughout the day, too! What a great way to welcome everyone back to school!
"You’re never too old,
Too wacky, too wild,
To pick up a book
And read to a child."
