This morning members of the Page Turners Book Club adopted shelves to care for in our library. Members will check their shelves a couple of times a week to do the following... Straighten and organize books Check for spine out, call number down on all books Keep books in order Group same titles together (E, B, and Fic) Make sure the correct books are on their shelf Thanks Page Turners for keeping our library in tip-top shape!

Mrs. Baker's Second Grade Class made the newspaper! Check out that article at... http://www.kansascity.com/news/neighborhood/northland/story/1506057.html Today Lewis and Clark students will help bring attention to literacy around the world. We will be part of a group of readers who will be joining (hopefully) millions of other readers sharing the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar together on one day. We hope to help break a reading record.

Tomorrow marks the first day of the 2009-2010 Page Turners Book Club. This club is open to all third, fourth, and fifth grade students at Lewis and Clark who cherish books. Permission slips were due last Friday so I could get an idea of how many kids will be attending. If you want to be a part of the Page Turners book club stop in and join us tomorrow (Sept. 23rd) or any other Wednesday we are in school. Page Turner mornings are my very favorite mornings of the week! I love to see kids reading, sharing, and listening to books. Ms. Oyler and Mrs. Brown will be reading with us this year and we can't wait to see you all in the morning ready and willing to read together! This year we will recommend books, blog about books, tackle some library projects, and students can even be Master Book Reviewers.

Each year fifth graders at LC attend "Boot Camp" in the library for intense training on how to access information in our library. We exercise our minds and bodies!
