On January 20th and 21st we visited the second grade rooms at Elgin Public and Pope John. We read the story The Snowflake’s Wish by Denise Abdale. It is about a little snowflake who has a very special wish. Come check out this book to find out what that special wish is.
Deadline to sign up is January 27th.
The book for January is at the library. You will be reading One False Move by Alex Kava. Stop by the library and pick up your copy.
In December, we visited the first grade room at Elgin Public and Pope John. The story this month was “When Santa Wrote Back” by Nathan Christopher. It is about a boy named Jake who wrote letters to Santa in hopes that Santa would write back to him. He wanted to have the best Christmas, which meant lots of presents! His letters to Santa included pages of presents he wanted and a reminder for him to reply. Will Santa reply and will Jake get all that he asked for? Stop by the library and check out When Santa Wrote Back.
On Wednesday, October 15 and Thursday, October 23, we visited Pope John’s and Elgin Public’s preschool to read a Halloween story and do a craft. Boo! The Scaredy Ghost by Minta Speller was the story we read to the kids. It is about Boo who is scared of rustling leaves, creepy shadows and even his own reflection. Boo sets out on an adventure determined to be brave. Stop by the library and check out this book to see what happens on his adventure. Afterwards we made ghosts.
This past week we visited the Kindergarten classes at Pope John and Elgin Public Schools. We read the book called ‘Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey. Right before Thanksgiving, a group of children take a field trip to a turkey farm. They meet Farmer Mack Nuggett and the turkeys. The children and turkeys have lots of giggles and gobbles until they find out their fate. Fortunately for the turkeys there is a happy ending. Stop by and check it out. We are reminded that there is much to be thankful for.
