We have biographies on famous athletes in our 921 section.
         

We have books about different sports and highlights in our 796 section.
         


We  have fiction chapter books about sports.
           

We also have picture books about sports.
         

This week highlighted a little of each section.  The Two books we read to the Students were:


K-2 Grades: Dino Football by Lisa Wheeler  - In this book Plant-eating dinosaurs (the Greenblade Snackers) face meat-eating dinosaurs (the Redscales) in a football game at the Lava Dome on Mega Bowl Sunday. Who will win?  


  3-5 Grades: Million Dollar Kick by Dan Gutman - Thirteen-year-old Whisper, who hates sports, is torn when she gets a chance to win a million dollars by kicking a goal against a local soccer hero.   Does she actually go through with the Kick?  Does she win one million dollars?

Rules

This week in the library we introduced the rules of the library to the students.  Our Bella Vista library rules are:
        1- Whisper
        2- Respect others
        3- Use a shelf marker
        4- Put unshelved books in the "White Zone"
        5- Push in chairs
        6- Store books in a special place at home
        7- Return or renew books after two weeks

We are fortunate to have fantastic students here at Bella Vista who are already great at following the Library rules.  

We also introduced two books about rules to the students.

For grades K-2 We read Skippyjon Jones.  In this book Skippyjon Jones,  a little kitten with a big imagination, is sent to his room to contemplate what it means to be a cat, but instead embarks on an imaginary adventure in which his Zorro-like alter ego, El Skippito, rescues a group of chihuahuas from a bean-eating bumblebee. His mother gives him a rule to stay out of his closet.  What happens Skippyjon Jones disobeys his mother?

For grades 3-5, We read Rules by Cynthia Lord.  Rules is about a 12 girl, Catherine, who has a younger brother with Autism.  Catherine has taught her brother rules to head off his embarrassing behavior. Some of the rules she has taught him are:
          - Chew with your mouth closed.
          - Say "thank you" when someone gives you a present (even
               if you don't like it).
          - If the bathroom door is closed, knock (especially
               if Catherine has a friend over)!
          - No toys in the fish tank.
This is also a great book about finding acceptance, and finding friendship in unusual places.
