Hey gang... I am happy that my mom is not the only one reading my blog now. Ya'll rock! Don't forget that your comments should be signed with your first name and
last initial only. Also, no spoilers please. That means that I won't approve any comment that would spoil a book for someone else so be careful not to give away the ending. Happy Reading!!! Mrs. Lang
I hope that all of the birthday book club participants had a great time choosing their books! We had a wonderful week that reminded me how lucky I am to be a part of the Doss community! Kim Belew led a fabulous group of volunteers! She was amazingly organized and at this point there are only a few students (who were absent last week) that still need to choose their books. The pictures are being developed and the bulletin board will be going up soon. AMAZING!!! Please take a moment to share the title and a brief summary of your book. I think that it would be fun to hear about the new books in the library.
I am really looking forward to getting all of the wonderful, new books in circulation next week. The students will choose their books, we will book plates them, and we'll be taking pictures for the bulletin board and scrapbook. It should be a very busy and exciting week. We appreciate all of your support and are thrilled to be adding over 300 books to the collection through your donations! AMAZING!!!!
Have I got your attention now?????? The release date is October 12th. I cannot believe that I didn't know about this sooner, but it's very exciting news.
Check out this deleted scene. I bet that there will be several Doss readers that are going to want a copy!
Hi Gang- I would like to generate some conversations about books here... I'll go first. I just finished David Lubar's
Punished. If you are looking for a quick read with some silly humor, this book may be the one for you. Without giving anything away, the main character Logan is caught running in the library and is "pun"ished by Professor Wordsworth. Do you know what a pun is? Levar Burton used puns on Reading Rainbow. Here's something that he said on the show...
"Humans aren't like bees, but if you COMB the shelves of a library, I'm sure you'll find some intereSTING things to keep you BUZZing." Read
Punished and you will learn about puns and oxymorons, anagrams, and palindromes.
Wow.... what a great back to school event! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello. We are looking forward to seeing every class next week and the volunteer schedule is already getting filled up. If you'd like to volunteer, just let us know. We appreciate all of your help! A huge thanks to those of you who have signed up for the birthday book club. It's not too late to participate... This a an amazing fundraiser for the library. If you'd like more information about it, I'd be happy to explain. We have a wonderful scrapbook of last year's participants in the library, come by to see it sometime... it is absolutely precious! We will be starting the year by sharing
How Rocket Learned to Read by Tad Hills with our kindergarten and first graders. The second through fifth graders will be checking out books next week so the library should be very busy!
Hey everyone! Mrs. Willis and I are getting the library ready for the Doss Owls and we know it's going to be a great year! We have lots of brand new books for the Birthday Book Club participants to choose from so don't forget to sign up at Meet the Teacher. Please come by the library to say hello next Friday. We've missed you! Get ready to read!!! hugs, Mrs. Lang
Parents... Check out the
Reading Rockets website. You'll find themed book lists, tips on helping your child find "just right" books and much more. This link will take you to the parent page. I am very impressed with what I have found and hope that you will be too. Enjoy!
