4th and 5th Grade Literature BLAST

In the next 2 weeks your students will be bringing home information about this wonderful event.  It is a great opportunity for 4th and 5th graders to be rewarded for reading above and beyond the classroom expectations.  In late March, qualifying students will get to spend an evening at Fox Hill filled with fun and excitement!  Please look this information over and encourage your student to participate.  I hope we have a record number this year!!!

Fall Author Visit

Aaron Reynolds will be visiting our school on November 13th.  He has written over a dozen books and his latest title is Creepy Carrots.  For more information about Aaron go to http://www.aaron-reynolds.com/index.html.

All students (1st-5th) are checking out "just right" or "good fit" books when they come to the library.  I find it exciting to watch the students searching and finding something that interests them and that they will be successful reading.  I hope that each family represented at Fox Hill will make reading a priority in the home this year.  Please feel free to use me as a resource for book suggestions that you would like to encourage your student to read.

Spring Book Fair Is Coming!!!

Mark you calendars!  The Fox Hill Book Fair will be held April 17-20 in the library.  If you would like to volunteer to help set up, take down or work a shift as cashier, please let Mrs. Roe know.  Another exciting addition to the traditional fair this year is an online option to shop for items.  This is a great way to encourage out of town grandparents, etc. to shop for birthdays or other special events no matter where they live in the U.S.
