The new books have all been processed and officially released to the library for check-out! As you each come to library class this week you will be allowed to select ONE of the new books and one of the other books in the library, providing you return your currently checked out books!
The Accelerated Reader tests have been ordered and now I am waiting for the disks to arrive and we will be sure and add them to the database. I will also send a list of the new titles to our webpage manager and she will add them to the AR Quiz list on our school website, although this might take her a little while since I ordered over 200 new tests!
If you would like to stop and chat about some of our new books, please feel free because as you all know...I LOVE BOOKTALKS!
See you soon!

I'm Back and the New Books Will Soon Be Here!
I am so glad to be back and even happier to be feeling better! Thank you to all the students who came in and let me know they missed me and were happy to see me again!
I did make some progress on processing our new books, but mostly slept, rested, and drank gallons of water while I was out with the flu; however, I am now working on completing the books so you can begin reading them!
I will be ordering the Accelerated Reader tests this week as well, so get ready to start racking up the AR points!
I know the anticipation and enthusisasm for our new books is at a fever pitch and I am looking forward to watching everyone 'dive' into them! Keep checking in with me and I will keep you posted on when they will be released!
Happy Reading!

FUN! FUN! FUN! FUN! and more FUN!
Our book buying trip was utterly fantastic! We had so much fun looking at, talking about, and purchasing new books for our school library.
You will all be happy to know that we purchased all the new sequels for the many series that we have in our library. Want to know if we bought a long anticipated sequel? Just stop by and visit with me!
I am busy processing all the new books. I have laminated all the covers, cut them out, and taped them down; plus I have ordered Accelerated Reader tests for all the new books that have Accelerated Reader quizzes. I have put in new pockets and cards (but haven't filled out the cards yet) and I still need to enter all the books into our ascension book, put that data on the inside cover of each book, put spine labels on, and then enter each book into our ResourceMate library program. Whew!
I am hoping to fax in the Accelerated Reader order by Monday, October 12th which will have those tests here that week to enter into the system. I plan on having the books done by the week after that so all students can eagerly dive into a whole slew of fascinating new adventures!
On a side note, today, October 8, is my birthday! I want to thank all of the students, staff, and parents who wished me a Happy Birthday! You all really know how to make my day 'extra-special' and I appreciate you all so very much!
I am glad to see students still 'popping in' and posting to our blog! Great job!
Don't forget to feed the turtles, fish, and the hamster!
