Scholastic Book Fair Goal

Only two more on-site shopping days left for our book fair!!  If our Book Fair sales are equal to or greater than $2,200 we can receive 50% of our sales in Scholastic Dollars or we can opt to take 25% of the total in cash.  We are in desperate need of higher leveled non-fiction books for our students to have the resources for the many independent and classroom research projects. Please help us reach our goal.  Thank you for all your support!  Remember you can go online to place your orders.  Our online shopping won't close until November 11th.  

Scholastic Book Fair Is Coming Soon!

Coming October 27th-November 4th!

Open:  Before and After School and During Conference Times

We still need volunteers to help with our book fair.  We need two or more volunteers for set up, this Friday the 24th from 2:30PM-4PM.  We also need volunteers to run the fair before and after school and during conference times.  Please see the sign ups in the office.  

Please visit our online bookfair to get an early start.  We would love to supply our teachers with books they need for their classrooms.  Let's see if we can fill their baskets with their wish books.

Looking For A Good Book?

Do you know where the largest library in the world is?  Do you know how it got started?  Do you know it has approximately 838 miles of bookshelves?

Ask your Clarkia and Alder students.  They should be able to tell you or you can find and read this great book, "Thomas Jefferson Builds a Library" by Barb Rosenstock.  Our favorite quote from the book, 

 "

All that is necessary for a student is access to a library.”

—Thomas Jefferson, 1790 (page 7)

  We discussed the importance of our responsibility in finding information and taking on the challenge of reading books to make a difference in the world.  

This has quickly become a favorite in the library.  B.J. Novak has an unique and humorous ability to create a book that captures the attention of any reader.  I know this one will never stay on our library shelf but will be in the hands of eager readers.  If you get a chance to read it, grab it!  

A Great Research Tool

  

We have a great free resource at our fingertips.  With independent projects, every day mysteries to be solved, and questions to be answered,  it can be overwhelming to find the right research tool.  The Oregon School Library Information System is a free, student-friendly database aimed at helping students with any project.
