The End (almost)

We read this today.  My littles loved this one.  But I have a question.  Who names their bear Donut?  Jim Benton, that's who!

Ninja Red Riding Hood

We read this today. It was a hit from K all the way up to my 6th graders.  That doesn't happen very often.  I love the rhyme scheme.  It rhymes without becoming sing-song half-way through!

A good addition to our library.

My White Board (aka how I communicate to the school)

At my old school I had a large white board on wheels that sat at the entrance to my library.  I used to put notices and funny sayings each day.  I would let them know if they could come in and check out books, if there were special things going on in the library, if there were deadlines they needed to know about, etc.  I also introduced each day with an alliterative phrase - "Today is Marvelous Monday!"  "Today is Terrific Tuesday" "Today is Thankful Thursday!"  I add cartoon pictures or decorations.  The kids (and the staff) love it. 

When I moved to my new school, I didn't have one.  At first, I was too overwhelmed with just figuring out what the heck I was doing to miss it(I moved in the middle of the year, in the middle of the week. I literally hit the ground running!).  But after I got my bearings, I really wanted that sign back!

Turns out that my new school had a brand new, fancy schmancy white board that they bought for staff meetings. It hadn't been used yet and was being stored in the back of an unused classroom.  Could I store it in the library and use it for my message board? Why yes, I can!

So now I write my messages and draw my pictures and I'm happy again.  I will be posting pictures of my various boards.
