AR Update for third graders!
Since beginning AR back in February, third graders have taken 3,247 quizzes and earned 1,810 points! Each week we recognize students who are reading the required chapter book with our Chapter Book Club!
If you haven't been a member of the chapter book club, what are you waiting for? I'm sure that Mrs. Massey or Mrs. Allmon can help you find a chapter book on your level. It's great practice, as next year the expectation is at least two chapter books - no more picture books!
Mrs. Massey has created a pretty cool
website
to showcase our upcoming book fair. This is an awesome opportunity to
add to your book collection! The book fair will begin on Friday, May 3rd
with classes visiting to preview the offerings and making wish lists.
Students may begin to purchase books on Monday, May 6. The fair will be
open each day May 6-9 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There's a special event
to celebrate Mother's Day on May 10th. On Friday May 10, the book fair
will be open until 12:00.
For all the girls who love the
Pinkalicious books by Victoria Kann, there's a new one out! It's called
Emeraldalicious! In this story, Pinkalicious and her brother take a trip to the park only to find it not as clean as they remember.
Boys,
don't worry! There are plenty of books just right for you, too! I know
my third grade boys are loving the Geronimo Stilton series, Goosebumps
series, and the new series called,
Stick Dog by Tom Watson. Thanks, Jay Cowan, for sharing this new series with me!
Of course, everyone loves the
Diary of a Wimpy Kid books! The newest one,
The Third Wheel, will
also be available. Have you read it yet? Love is in the air in this
book! So, check in with Greg and Rowley as they figure out what to do
for the Valentine's Dance at school!
What have you read lately?
I hope to see you at the book fair! Until then, be sure to check out the webpage for Gilbert's Book Fair. You can click
