Hello Primrose Families!


The members of the News Committee from our 3rd Grade Library Council recently met. The students reported library news to each classroom and wrote the following updates for families.


Happy Reading!

Miss O'Kane

Hello Primrose parents!!!

This month we have very exciting fun facts to share with you. The third graders will be organizing the book swap, be sure to bring in books from your house. They can be for third grade, second, first, kindergarten and preschool. Another fun fact is that book look will be ending on May thirteenth. Reading week will be coming soon and the students are very excited. We just had April vacation and because of that 1,832 books were checked out and 768 books are overdue. Another fun fact is our idea board, one student wrote to move the tables and it actually happened!!!!!


Thank you for reading have a nice week!!!!

-Abby, Kaya, & Maria

Read of the Week by Grace & Rose

“Beacuse” by Mo Willems is the read of the week. It is a picture book. It is about a man named Ludwig and he wrote beautiful music . This inspired a man named Franz to create his own music. In one of his performances a little girl came and found her passion: music. The girl went on a journey to center stage and found it!

RICBA Books by Aahan & Latham

There are new RICBA Nominees for 2020. Here are some of them: Bob by Wendy Mass and Rebecca Staed,Captain Superlative by J.S. Puller. Another one is Front Desk by Kelly Yang. I suggest you read Bob. It is a classic middle-grade tale of magic and friendship, about a girl who helps an old friend find home. - Aahan


By the way, the 2019 RICBA winner was Sergeant Reckless by Patricia McCormick. It is a true story about a brave horse who fought in the Korean War. I suggest you read this book:

Inky’s Amazing Escape by Sy Montgomery. This non-fiction book tells the amazing story of an octopus’s amazing escape from a New Zealand aquarium in 2016. - Latham

Overdues

There are 768 overdues in this past month. Since there was April Vacation, we had many days without going to library class.

Other Notes

Something that is happening in the library is that we are going to end book look on May 31st. Another change in the library is reading week is coming in 1 month. One fun event during reading week is that we get to listen for clues each morning to try to guess the correct book. Another fun thing about it is the book swap.

-Alessandra & Skyler


There is only 1 month left of book look. We stop checking out books in June. We do this so that we can make sure the books all come back to the library for next year’s students. We really need to return the books. Please look for any lost books or magazines so the students can enjoy them.
