Brothers bonding over books. |
Not only does it give the kiddos something to do, the adults like the chance to visit! |
Reagan shared with me how she finds great books to
read by looking at reviews by her favorite reviewer on
YouTube. Guess who will be using our new Media Makerspace
and reviewing books for Curtis students!
Another way students are showing their love of reading is by logging pages and hours read on Biblionasium. So far, students have logged in 8 hours 49 minutes of reading and 512 pages! Readers can earn BookFair Bucks by participating in summer reading programs such as this or the Weatherford Public Library's summer reading program.
One of the challenges I have set for our 3rd-6th grade students is to read the Texas Bluebonnet Nominees. There are 20 books that are nominated, and students who read at least 5 books are able to vote on their favorite. The actual winner is chosen by students who cast their votes! Here is a link to the books:

I have read ten of them, and am starting Freaky Fast Frankie Joe by Lutricia Clifton this evening. I have hear that it is a book that will catch you and keep you reading! Sounds like a perfect summer evening book!
Happy Reading! Here's hoping you find the perfect book for you!
It was so great to meet you the other day. I am excited to be working at Curtis Elementary and look forward to bringing my 2nd graders to visit you in the library. What amazing opportunities you are giving these kids!!!
