Snow!

The time for wearing winter gear is upon us! This short week (Nov. 21 - Nov. 22) in the Media Center we read books about that icy cold, white stuff that brings out our inner child and deep down we really love... SNOW!

Kindergarten - 2nd Grade
Froggy Gets Dressed, by Jonathon London

Rambunctious Froggy hops out into the snow for a winter frolic but is called back by his mother to put on some necessary articles of clothing.

If you want to see your child LAUGH, read this and other Froggy books at bedtime or anytime! After all, Mrs. Allison and I hope you are reading to your children no matter what time or book it is! Read, Read, Read!


3rd - 6th Grade
Snowflake Bentley, by Jacqueline Briggs Martin
Snowflake Bentley

From the time he was a small boy, Wilson Bentley thought of the icy crystals as small miracles. And he determined that one day his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystals.

Bentley's enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was often misunderstood in his time, but his patience and determination revealed two important truths about snowflakes: first, that no two are alike and second, that each one is startlingly beautiful. His story, gracefully told by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and brought to life in Mary Azarian's lovely woodcuts, gives children insight into a soul who had not only a scientist's vision and perseverance but a clear passion for the wonders of nature.

If you have a dream, go for it! The sky's the limit!

Happy Reading!
