Sorry I haven't updated lately. We've been having computer issues at school, but we're up and running again now!
*******************************************************
It's almost the end of the school year. This week will be the last week to check out library materials. The 6th and 7th graders have lots of books out for projects that they are completing this week, and so I need to get those books in right away. If a student tells me a book is lost, I will try to get a replacement price to you right away to clear up their account.

This week in library we are talking about eyes. I have a video from the American Optometric Association(wonder where I got that ?)that explains the vision process. Plus we are looking at eyes of "hunters" and "the hunted" in the animal kingdom and optical illusions. I've pulled books about these things for the students to check out.

Debbie Nunziato made a bookworm presentation for all the students last week. I encourage you to enroll your child in the bookworm program. It is so very important that children keep reading over the summer so that they don't lose some of the skills they have learned this past year. I also encourage you to have your middle school child be a bookworm volunteer. The library depends on student volunteers to monitor the bookworm program. It's a great way to learn responsibility, pass on education to younger children, and help the library all at the same time.
*******************************************************
Finally, I am compiling a list of books to order for next year. I have asked the students to let me know what books or book series they want me to buy. If parents have suggestions, I would be glad to add those to my list of "must haves."
