There has been an awesome response to the book fair! Our goal was $2,000 and we have reached that goal already. Morgan Elementary Library will receive 55% of money raised in Scholastic bucks to be used towards new books for the library. I am so pleased with this and can't wait to start ordering! I plan to have the book fair open one more day, Tuesday, September 3, for any last-minute purchases. The fair will be closed at the end of the school day on Tuesday. Thank you to everyone for your support of our school library.
“It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations--something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.”
- Katherine Patterson, children's award-winning author Guess What! I applied for a grant online a few weeks ago for our Morgan library to receive some Bluegrass Award books. Our school was awarded the books! They are for grades 3-5. I'm not for sure how many we're getting yet, but I hope to receive them soon. I will display them in the library as soon as they arrive.
I am so excited about seeing all the books in the library. As I was working on the books this summer, I kept finding myself stopping to read one or two of them. I just couldn't help myself. In order to become more familiar with the children books we have at Morgan's Library, I am going to commit to reading at least 100 books this school year. I plan on reading books at all levels. I will have a chart displayed in the library to show what I've read. I will also post them on this blog. I'll let you know what I thought of them too. Any other
