We Don't Eat Our Classmates

This week, most of our students heard the funny book We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins!



In this book, Penelope, the dinosaur, is headed to school for the very first time and she has a difficult time adjusting.  She discovers that eating her classmates is not the best way to make friends and she is lonely.  Through a surprising twist, Penelope learns what it feels like to be eaten and she finally changes her ways!

The students loved the book and after reading the story, we had some great discussions about what it means to be a good friend and that we should treat others the way we want to be treated.

Exciting News!
We have partnered with the McHenry Public Library to make it easier for students to get library cards!  Forms went home this week.  Once the forms are returned, it will take a few weeks for us to get the library cards to send home.  Students can use their library card number at school to access the public library's amazing selection of online resources.  Also, the Harrison school library is now a drop-off location for public library books (checked out by our families).  Please contact me with any questions!

Happy Reading!
