The Woodville Branch of the Leon County Public Library celebrated its Grand Opening this morning. What a wonderful event and a beautiful facility. Our families are so fortunate to have this new resource and we are so fortunate to have them as our new community partners. I look forward to working with them for a long time to come!
Dewey Decimal System
This week we are reviewing the Dewey Decimal System. Please share where you would look for your favorite type of book. Tell us the subject and the Dewey Decimal number that will be on the spine of the book. Happy Hunting!
Reading over the Holidays
Do you have a good book to read over the holidays?? I’m excited to read a new book we just got in the media center called The Year Money Grew on Trees by Aaron Hawkins. It is about a 13 year old boy who recruits his cousins and sisters to help take care of a neighbor’s apple orchard to try to earn some money. I hope to learn more about growing and harvesting apples while enjoying a great story. I’ll be sure to tell you about the book after Thanksgiving break.
Tell me about the book you are reading over the holidays…
What are you reading??
This is the place for students and teachers to talk about what they are reading. Please give us the title and the author’s name and a brief summary of the book. Would you recommend it to a friend?

Book Fair a Success!
The fall book fair was a great success! Students enjoyed Reading Around the World and Max even took a trip in a hot air balloon. Families had the chance to shop on Thursday night before and after the Family Reading Night activities. Sales were great and I am looking forward to purchasing some new books for the media center for students to borrow. Students - keep giving me suggestions for books you would like to see in the collection!

Off to a great start!
The 2009-2010 school year is off to a great start! Kindergarten and first grade students have been checking out books and learning the difference between fiction and nonfiction. Our 2nd and 3rd grade students can now visit the media center whenever they like and are very excited to start taking AR tests. 4th and 5th graders are showing their Mustang Pride and learning about different collections in the media center and what their call numbers mean.
Our theme for this year is READ, LEARN, GROW! We’re off to a great start!
Summer Reading Fun!
I have started reading the books on our list for each grade and they are all wonderfully fun! I hope you don’t miss out on the chance to read these great books. Remember, they are available at school in the front office for checkout.
