Friday Fun in the Library!

From cutting paper dolls to using our Chromebooks to research holidays, it has been a busy week in the library at Kiser! Kids are writing plot summaries for a writing contest (#kidscreatekatmcgee  -  visit www.inthistogethermedia.com to find out more), third graders learned how to make paper dolls like the character Art, in Louise Loves Art, by Kelly Light, and of course, we have more book commercials in various stages of planning and filming!  Books were checked out 783 times this week, and we added some new titles to our collection.  Come visit us soon at the Kiser Library!

~Happy Reading!

Author/Illustrator Kelly Light Makes Us Smile at Kiser!

What a great week at Kiser Elementary School!  The library was a busy place this week as third graders read Louise Loves Art by Kelly Light!  We tweeted to her after reading her fabulous book and she tweeted back, answering our questions AND she gave us a sneak peek at her next book!  How amazing!  If you have a chance, read this fun picture book!  Here is the link to the book trailer for the book:

Fourth and fifth graders were introduced to Kat McGee and began reading Kat McGee and the School of Christmas Spirit by Rebecca Munsterer.  Some of our students are going to enter the www.inthistogethermedia.com writing contest in December which is based on the Kat McGee series!

Book commercials are scheduled to be filmed on Monday...stay tuned for some great additions to our book commercial collection...

Don't forget to visit the library and find that just right book soon!

Happy Reading,

Wonderful Wednesday in the Kiser Library

Hello Roaring Readers!  We took a short break from book commercials during the book fair, but have no fear...blogging about books will return next week!

Here is a big THANK YOU to everyone who shopped at the book fair or volunteered this week.  We have had a great book fair and I appreciate all of you so much!

I am looking forward to getting back to our normal library routine...stay tuned... I have some special things planned for next week!

Happy Reading,

~Mrs. Long
