F E B R U A R Y B I R T H D A Y S This month, we are celebrating Judy Blume, Mo Willems and Norman Bridwell's birthdays! These popular authors are featured on the hall bulletin board and their books are on display in the Book Nook.
Students are invited to enter the Birthday contest. On a small piece of paper, print your full name and division, then name a Birthday author and one of their characters. Put your entry in the contest jar in the Library.
Good Luck!
BOOK RETURNS Just a reminder that students are asked to return their Library books the day before their Library blocks. This gives me a chance to check in the books before their class so that I have more time to help students with their book selections.
Students with overdue books are not able to take out books until their overdues are returned. Please check for overdue notices at the end of the week. Please let the Library know if you believe that the books have been returned.
Students are expected to pay for lost books before they can take out more books. If a book has been paid for and is returnded, the money will be refunded.
P A N D A S
This week, we will focus on panda conservation and scientists attempts to rescue this reclusive bear from extinction. According to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park
- Significant resources flowing into China each year are earmarked for habitat conservation
- A logging ban in place since 1998 protects most panda habitat from commercial operations
- The Chinese are aggressively fostering the reforestation of marginal agricultural land, thereby creating panda habitat
- Scientists have made notable progress in captive breeding
Have a great week and keep on reading!
