New Books! New Books! New Books!

Last week the students were so excited to see the "New Book" section completely filled with brand new books!  Thanks to our wonderful PTO and all the people who purchased books at our fall book Scholastic Book Fair, I was able to buy lots of great stuff!  Chapter books, easy readers, picture books, ghost stories, graphic novels, highly-anticipated sequels, new series and titles by some favorite authors...there's a little something for everyone! 

Our third and fourth graders will be happy to know that lots of these books have a green foil star on the spine.  That means the library owns an audio recording of the book called a Playaway that they can borrow to listen to the story being read aloud.  I first started using the green stars earlier this year, and I've been happy to see how many of the students have looked for a companion book when borrowing a Playaway.  Simply listening to a story being read aloud benefits a student, but also seeing the words helps increase their exposure to text, comprehension, fluency and vocabulary.

Just a few of our new books with their Playaway companions

 Once again, to our P.T.O. and to all who support our 

Scholastic Book Fair:

THANK YOU!!!
