Welcome back to school at Harry Stone! The library will open up for student check-out September 8th. Until then we are working on finishing weeding out the non-fiction section, getting new books ready for check out, planning class schedules and collaborating on lesson plans with teachers. Thanks for your patience while we get ready!
Also, awesome job to all of our readers who participated in the Mayor's Summer Reading Challenge, we will be posting those participants soon... Thanks, Mrs. W I got the coolest poster from Scholastic that I feel I just have to share with you what it says. I think it has such a strong message and I feel that it really sums up Literacy and how important it is in a child's life.
"Literacy - the ability to read, write, and understand - is the birthright of every child in the world. Young people need to know how to analyze, interpret, and understand information. *~* Learn to read nonfiction for information. Learn to read fiction for imagination. *~* Every child should have access to books. *~* Young people also need teachers who provide instruction to interpret the information the encounter. Every child should have Literacy Confidence... Literacy Confidence = the ability to read, write, and speak about what they know, what they feel, and who they are. Read Every Day. Lead a Better Life." ~poster from Scholastic, 2010 I've hung this on the book return cart for maximum read-age potential! I hope that left you inspired like it did me. Read to your child, let them read to you. hugs, Mrs. W |
