May 2008
We have read over 40,000 books so far this year! Thank you for reading with and to your children. Let’s keep up the reading!! We have been studying new authors in the library, learning about Fiction and Non-Fiction books. Also, we will be learning about the Randolph Caldecott Award and will read books that have received this prestigious award.
I would like to thank everyone that has volunteered in the library during the month of April. Please contact me if you have any extra time to volunteer in the library or read a story to your child’s class.
The students will continue to review databases found on the Alabama Virtual library. The Alabama Virtual Library is Alabama’s premiere online information center. This is a free site for all residents of Alabama including military families. Please contact me if you would like more information about obtaining an AVL card. You may visit the site at www.avl.lib.al.us
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Reading Counts
Reading Counts is a program by Scholastic that encourages students to read for enjoyment and understanding. You can view the available quizzes to help you and your child select books for Reading Counts points. You can save the Quiz file to your computer (528Kb). You'll need Macromedia Flash Player to view it. The file is 266 pages long so we recommend you don't print it.
