This week, we had a very special holiday-themed makerspace in our library. Our students LOVED it! They were so focused on their creations and they made so many amazing things. Some of the activities that we offered included: holiday card making, drawing Santa and Christmas trees, making "Christmas Kindness" fortune tellers, holiday origami, making holiday items out of Legos, puppets, puzzles, and reading by the "fire". Here are a few pictures from the week.

Battle of the Books
This week, we also kicked off our Battle of the Books programs! This year, we will have three battles: a 3rd grade battle, a 4th & 5th grade battle, and a 6-8th grade battle. Each group came to the library for a kick-off assembly. During the assembly, we introduced the program, showed pictures from previous years, and then gave short book talks for each of the books that will be included this year.
3rd grade
4/5th grade
6-8th grade
Students must read one book before January 15th in order to be placed on a team. The actual battles will be in May. We can't wait!
Book Club
Our after school "Choose Kindness" book club has been meeting every Monday after school. We have been having fun reading the book Wonder. Students have also been finding ways to spread kindness around the school and at home. Our book club will continue in January.
Have a wonderful winter break! Happy Reading!
