March promises to be another busy month in the library.  Among the many activities, students will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and Women’s History Month.  Students celebrate Dr. Seuss’s Birthday with Green Eggs and Ham and Seussville learning activities featuring all of Dr. Seuss’ wonderful books.  In observance of Women’s History month, library students will research a famous “Woman who made a difference”. 2^nd and 3^rd grade students will begin keeping a reading diary in the library.  Kinder and 1^st grade students will check out books to take home this month.

Although February was a short month, the library was quite busy.  Besides checking out library books for Reading Counts and AR tests, circulation was lively with students checking out books for reading pleasure as well.  Activities included Groundhog Day, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, Presidents Day, and Black History Month.

As always, the library welcomes donated books in good condition.  We are especially in need of Reading Counts and Accelerated Reading books when your students are finished reading the book.  If you and your student can help, please consider donating to the library.

Mark your calendars in April for another exciting Scholastic Book Fair.  Look for promotional flyers announcing this year’s theme and all the other thrilling plans underway.  Volunteers will again be needed.  If interested, please contact Debbie Gleason at 972.217.2807 or Monica Connelly.

Have a wonderful, fun-filled and restful Spring Break!

Teen Tech Week

The library is once again hosting Teen Tech Week, March 29-31 sponsored by the American Library Association.  This year’s theme is “Get Connected @ Your Library.”  Teen Tech Week is a national initiative aimed at students, teens, their parents, educators and other concerned adults.  The purpose is to ensure that students are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through the library, such as databases, audio books, DVDs, and video games. Week-long fun activities are planned: video contests, Solitaire, Dewey Decimal Bingo, type-off contest, Pinball Contest, and scratch projects. Prizes, ribbons and certificates will be awarded at the closing of the week, Wednesday March 31, with an ice cream social.
