This is one of my very favorite books to read each year and one of my very favorite characters! Miss Brooks Loves Books (and I don't) by Barbara Bottner is a must read for any librarian or teacher. The little girl in the story stole my heart, as you can see. She is so much fun to be and the possibilities with this story are endless.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Book Fair, Daddy Days and Read Across America, OH MY!

 "Ni-Hao" from China! We are now on a journey through China for the next several weeks. Chinese New Year is February 10th  and it is the year of the snake. We have already learned many fascinating facts about China and we just got here!

This week we wrapped up our visit to Kenya. . Papa Do You Love Me by Barbara M. Joosse is what we read this week. We had fun on our last safari looking for animals along with a book to take home. Wonder where we are going next week but I do know it will be fun!!

 Jambo, from Kenya! This week we visited Kenya, Africa  and went on a safari!! We learned that elephants, giraffes, and lions are a few animals that live in Kenya, along with hippos and alligators. Believe it or not we spotted some on our safari in the library!! Our trip continues....

All the students helped with these!
