On October 19th we had a book talk table at lunches where some frightfully great books were featured from the public library and our own middle school library. The public library sponsored a drawing for some free books and passed out some Frankensteintastic bookmarks and stickers. I know the librarians enjoyed interacting with the students and are looking forward to doing another lunch book talk table in November.
If you see any students carving pumpkins and counting the seeds it might be because the featured book for the Read Aloud was How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin by G. Brian Karas where Charlie discovers that of the three pumpkins his teacher brings to school the smallest pumpkin has the most seeds; yes "small things can have a lot going on inside them."
We featured thirteen mystery staff readers on the morning announcements. The staff members favorite book was shared along with three clues about them. Posters were displayed in the library and school cafeteria where students could place their guesses. Winners were drawn each day from the correct guesses. The winners could choose a free book or school supplies.
Even though Teen Read Week is officially over we hope everyone will keep on reading!
