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.

this is awesome to have our own website to get more info on things. We don't have to disturb the teachers for any contest info or anything basically! Thank you Miss Kondo, we are fortunate to have you!

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm, girls! :)

Just so you know, I usually update and add more information on the weekends. But if anyone comments, I'll approve them during the week for sure.

Let me know if you ever want to contribute something to the site!

Sure! You can add a comment any time. But if you wanted to make a post or a review, you can email it to me at booksatbrock@gmail.com. Or, come see me at lunch or recess and I will help you add it yourself!

And yes! I am having a winter themed contest, but it will probably happen in January. Do you have any other ideas of contests that we can have? I need some suggestions. :)

can you reset my password miss kondo? i totally forgot my old one. the student password to log in. i am telling you on this because i can never find time to tell in person. hope u dont mind. sorry and thanks

No problem, Vennila! Good idea to ask me on here.

I reset it to the shared secret (last 4 digits of your student number + day of birth + month of birth). Then you can enter your new password in twice. Make sure it's at least 8 characters long and something you've never used before.

by day you mean the date number and by month you mean the number right? sorry, i get doubts on such simple things

No worries! It's confusing.

You're right. So if your birthday was July 6 and your student number ended in 1234, your shared secret would be 12340607. :)

i love Book Fairs! The fact that you take your time to organize it, give little prizes to the helpers, the poster draw and more makes it even better! Thanks a lot!

He didn't come to school today. also, in our basketball tournament, we were so close, like 4 away from winning.
