Black History Month, Voting, RIF, Read Across America, and Dr. Seuss!

Wow, so much going on in 1 week, but it is all so much fun!  This week in the library the younger grades are voting on the SC Picture Book Awards.  I love sharing these titles as read alouds during the school year.  I served on the committee of librarians who make the list a few years ago, so I have a special place in my heart for these books that have been nominated for the students to vote on.  I can't wait to see which book wins!


We are finishing up Black History month with a host of activities.  We had PTA last night with a beautiful chorus performance.  The parents were then invited to walk around and check out the student projects that have been completed this month, led by the students of course!  I really enjoyed seeing the finished projects in the classrooms and hallways since the library was heavily used for books and research to complete them!  We have a wonderfully diverse library collection that supported Black History Month very well.


We are also celebrating Read Across America and Dr. Seuss this week in the library and around the school.  My younger students library time this week has included a Dr. Seuss read aloud, coloring cool Dr. Seuss bookmarks, and getting to choose a RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) book to take home and keep!  I love seeing the excitement on their faces when they choose a book to keep!  My older students have also been super excited to choose a RIF book as well!
