Author Visit

David M. Sargent, Jr. visited our school on Tuesday, May 24. We had a great time listening to him speak and meeting his friends, Tatum, Daphne, Emma and Spike.

Yea! It's May!

Well, almost May. We have voted on our Arkansas Diamond Award books. At our school, Help Me, Mr. Mutt received the most votes with The Wolves are Back as runner-up. At the State Level, The Two Bobbies received the most votes with Help Me, Mr. Mutt as runner-up.
We are starting our Caldecott unit and are reading different Caldecott books.
With almost a month to go, we are looking forward to our Young Author's Conference during the week of May 23. David Sargent will be speaking to our school on May 24 and we will display all of our class and individual books.

Come On, Spring!

It's been an eventful winter with all the snow days, so glad Spring is coming soon. We are reading from the Arkansas Diamond Award list and getting ready to vote for our favorite in April. We also wrapped up the Book Fair and thanks to all the support, we made over $1000 for the Library and had 37 books purchased for classrooms by parents. Thanks to all the volunteers and customers! Couldn't have done it without you.

Thankful for our Books!

We are thankful for so many great books in our Library. I am thankful for those kids (almost all of our students) who take such good care of our books.

We are learning about Tall Tales in the Library this month. We've learned about Pecos Bill and Davy Crockett and how they could do things bigger and better than anyone else. We plan to write our own tall tale soon.

My classes of the month for October were Ms. Quinton, Ms. Chambliss, Ms. Kilgore. I chose my classes of the month based on how well they cleaned up the Library when it was time to leave. This month I'm looking for quiet voices during check-out time.

Fall In the Library!!

Welcome back to a great school year. Hard to believe it's already October. We've been very busy in the Library learning procedures, book care and a ton of Library Vocabulary. We've also read some really great books.

Thanks to all for supporting the Book Fair. We made over $1500 for the Library and the kids had a great time looking at all the neat books.

Last Week of School

Hope everyone has a safe and exciting summer. See you in August.

Young Author's Conference

Shane and Tammy Carter Bronson visited Prairie Grove Primary to share their books, Tiny Snail, Polliwog, and The Kaleidonotes and the Mixed-Up Orchestra, with us. They did a great job and we enjoyed their visit. Ms. Carney was Tammy Carter Bronson's first grade teacher and Ms. Bronson credits Ms. Carney for teaching her to read and eventually become an author.
