Congratulations to everyone who entered the Bookmark Contest! Over 50 students submitted their Halloween/Fall themed designs. They all looked amazing!
Special congratulations to Anabella in grade 1, Margo in grade 4, Sowarima in grade 5, and Elijahh in grade 6! They got the most votes so their bookmarks are available in the library. Some are being scooped up very fast, so come get yours soon. They're free! The second contest of the year is well underway. Students have the opportunity to design their own Halloween or Fall themed bookmark. Check the Contest section of the Student Page for more information!
The winning reviews of the Book Review Contest have been posted to both the Student Page and the Books to Read section of this site!
Other entries to the contest have been posted on the Student Page. Thank you to everyone who wrote an entry! They were all very well done! Each month, one winner will be chosen from all entries that month. The winning review will be highlighted on this site. Keep reading! We would like to invite the Brock community to contribute to our book reviews! If you have discovered a great book for students in kindergarten to grade 8, please submit your reviews to our email address: [email protected].
We would love to read reviews about picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, non-fiction books, or even magazines! If you would like to use a template, please feel free to download one from the Student Page. Thank you! The first contest of the year is now underway! Students are invited to submit a book review either via email or paper copy (found in the library). The top 2 reviews in the primary, junior, and intermediate divisions will win a prize. All entries will be published on the blog.
Go to the contest page for more information. Happy reading! Summer certainly has flown by! It was great seeing some of you at summer school. I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and that you managed to enjoy the outdoors even though the weather was at times, horribly uncooperative!
I'm very excited to be back in the library again this year! We are trying out this blog as a way of communicating with students and families about the goings-on in the library. Please feel free to comment on any and all posts (comments will appear as soon as they are approved). But…I won't be the only one writing this blog! Other teachers have expressed interest in being a guest blogger. My hope is also for students to take ownership of a special student section where they can write book reviews, make recommendations, and share anything else library-related they would like. Stay tuned for more info! Wishing you all a wonderful school year, Ms. Kondo :) P.S. If you found any books over the summer, please return them to the library. Each student will start with a "clean slate" on their accounts so that they can check out books, but it's better to have books returned late than never! Book exchange will begin for all classes at the end of September. |
