This week we will continue with our Poetry unit. Students will create their own Alligator poem patterned after Canadian poet, Dennis Lee's Alligator Pie. We will also learn about Jack Prelutsky and his poetry. Here is a taste of his poem, Bleezer's Ice Cream! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuPlUQvViX8

Overdue and Lost book notices were handed out on Friday. Students who have lost or overdue books may not take out books until the missing books are returned or paid for. Please contact the Librarian at ldelair@sd40.bc.ca if you have any questions or think that the items have been returned to the library.
This month in the Library, we will focus on Earth Day and the Environment, Books to Movies and Easter as well as poetry.

Last week, I wrote about Books to Movies. The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is a classic example of this! As a child, I found this movie disturbing and I still don't like it. I have met an equal number of people who love and hate this film. Weren't we all a bit scarred by the flying monkeys, though?I am reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maquire for my book club. This is definitely a book for adults. It is a great read if you are a fan of fantasy and The Wizard of Oz (unfortunately, I am a fan of neither...).
