Last day of June and this is what I have read that is new for the library . What have you read to your child this summer ?post below or if you have a recommendation for the upcoming school year post it too .

As I reflect back to this past school year , I just want to say thank you to all of the parents, grandparents, and followers who have supported my page. This summer will go by so fast . Here are a few free events going on along with Gadsden Public Library summer reading program . Everyone have a great summer . I will see you back in August ❤️📚

We had such a great time opening our Book Blast items today . Each child will go home with a book for summer reading . Kindergarten were on a field trip so they will get their books tomorrow 😁❤️📚

Back in March I shared a book from the fair that was historical fiction . I loved it so much that I ordered the original book of this series. Of course, I had already read book 2 , but I can’t wait to share this one with the second and third graders. Both will be available next year for students to check out .

We had a great time listening to Beth from JSU field school speak to 3rd- 6th grade. She shared unique facts about animals that live in our region . Check out their web page for fun summer opportunities. www.canyoncenter.org

Did you get your 10 emails or phone numbers in today ? Tomorrow is the last day for the treasure chest

Another few days left on our book Blast fundraiser. If you know of any business that would be willing to support our school please share . I even have a form for them for taxes. We are giving away another treasure box in the morning . ❤️📚

Lemon or Lemonade? Students in 4th-6th grade did a book review this week on our books that hadn’t been checked out in a while . Students determined if the book was a lemon and needed to go or if it was a lemonade and needed to stay . Mrs. Coleman and I served them lemonade while they did the review . 🍋❤️📚

Way to go Sophia ! Tomorrow we will be giving away a treasure box so get those emails in tonight ❤️📚Book Blast

Another great book from this year’s Newbery nomination. It didn’t win, but it was one that I didn’t want to put down. This historical fiction is based on the famine that happen in Ukraine in the 1930s. The twist at the end will shock you . Great for 4-6 graders . I plan to order more by Katherine Marsh.

We may be in the middle of ACAP testing , but our sixth graders stopped long enough to share our new books that came in this week ! We have a something for everyone ❤️📚

We had such a great day at Highland enjoying the solar eclipse. We purchased 2 new books that I read to them last week and glasses . What a great experience for all .☀️🌑🌗

Have you introduced historical fiction to your child ? This a good way to introduce history / historical facts . This is a new book that we purchased during the book fair . It is about a mouse who met Abe Lincoln and learned about his honesty , kindness and loyalty to others . I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to our 3rd graders .

Don’t have plans for spring break, no problem 😁 several groups are having activities. JSU field school is having an event on Tuesday, Gadsden Public Library is having a movie day on Wednesday, and the Extension Center is having a color walk on Thursday. Check out the info below .

The new Dog Man arrived today from Scholastic. I know the kids are going to be super pumped. I have been reading another book from Scholastic from the book fair , The House with Chicken Legs. I think our older girls are going to like it . ❤️📚

Kids are ready to catch a leprechaun this weekend thanks to Pete the Cat . Of course, we are all lucky since we have great friends and family . ❤️📚🍀☘️

We are so blessed with such a great community that supports our school . We made over $3,900 at the fair which we will receive 50% of that back to buy more books for our students. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Mrs. Massaro ( these two were great shoppers so I grabbed a pic as they were leaving )

We are so close to reaching our goal of 650 books sold . Tomorrow is our last full day of sales. Looking forward to seeing some last minute shoppers .

Still time to shop for your child and a book off the teacher’s wish list .❤️📚

Tomorrow starts a week full of celebration. If you haven’t set up your ewallet, check the back of your child’s book flyer for the QR code.📚❤️🪅

Happy National Read Across America Day ! Enjoy your day ! Don’t forget to stop for a moment and read ❤️📚
