Book Fair is Coming!

Our first book fair of the year will be here Oct. 2nd-6th! That is next week! 

The preview flyers have gone home with our letter. We have many volunteers to make the book fair run smoothly. Thank you to all that are helping out! 

We will have a preview with every class on either Monday, Oct. 2nd or Tuesday, Oct. 3rd. We do not sell until everyone in our community has had a chance to see the fair. As you know, the favorites sell out very quickly. 

We will be open on two evenings, Tuesday (3rd) from 4:30 to 7:00 pm and on Open House night, Thursday (5th) from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.

Please see our book fair homepage if you have any other questions or would like to see a full list of our open hours. 

Can't wait to see you there, partners!

Starting our year with Hudson!

We read about Hattie and Hudson in their lake in the state of Maine. Hattie is a singing girl in a canoe that meets a lake monster named Hudson. Their friendship forms quickly and they count on each other when trouble brews. After enjoying the reading, the students then made pictures to show how they would spend a day with Hudson. 

Here are a few:

Chris Van Dusen is the featured author/illustrator.

Thanks for a great year!

  

  

All of you have finished your school year, and I wanted to remind you how much you have done in a year! We read fun, excited stories that made us think of the impossible. We shared 10 awesome Red Clover books and you voted for your favorite. We read nonfiction books that helps us learn new things and imagine more. We welcomed an author/illustrator, Mrs. Abbie Bowker, into our community. We were a community who loves stories and then shares our thoughts and connections. I wish you all a wonderful summer.

Happy Reading,

Ms. Hebert

The Burnham Memorial Library comes to us!

The children's librarians at the Burnham Memorial Library came to visit us today to share about the summer programs happening this year. Every student in our building had a time to visit with their class. This link with the town library is great for encouraging summer reading!

Our author/illustrator visit is finally here for us to enjoy!
We had a wonderful time learning, creating, and sharing. 

Our school is ready for Abbie Bowker's visit:

 

 

We have read Woolly Bear Winter. We created woolly bears, poems, and illustrations!

They did such a great job!

Getting ready for Abbie Bowker's visit!

The students in our school are such hard workers! They created big woolly bear caterpillars in Kindergarten. Our first graders created their own size of woolly bears. While our second graders created illustrations for poetry.

We are all looking forward to our time with Abbie Bowker!
