NATIONAL CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK
NOVEMBER 16 - 20, 2009

The library will be celebrating National Children's Book Week with a special reading program called "Build-a-Bug for Books." We want to make all our children good readers. Reading is an essential skill for success in school and in life, and so we want to encourage children to read, read, read.

Your child will be bringing home a letter informing you about the planned Children's Book Week activities. On the back of the letter is the "Reading Record Sheet" that your child should complete in order to receive the certificate and prizes (a glow-in-the-dark bug and a coloring sheet) that go to those who turn in completed "Reading Record Sheets." Please note that parents must sign the child's reading sheet before it will be accepted. Your signature is my confirmation that your child has indeed read the books listed on the "Reading Record Sheet." Also, I should note that parents of Pre-K and Kindergarten children may help their children with the reading and writing, so that they may complete the program.

Thursday of Children's Book Week is "Book Character Dress-Up Day." Children are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character.

Please help your child participate in this special week's activities. They need your support and encouragement to make the extra effort.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
