    Students are now able to check out 2 books.  We focused on one of them 
being a red dot book.  Please remember that these picture books offer so many 
teaching opportunities.  We are working on taking picure walks, rereading 
text, reading for meaning and discussing the events of the story.  Please 
take the opportunity to go deeper with their books for comprehension.  

All library books should always stay with them.  When they are at school, 
it should be in their desk for them to read when they get the opportunity.  
They may take it home each day, but I advised to take good care of it and 
leave it in their backpack when they were not reading it.
