This week we were so busy in the library that, to my dismay, I forgot to take pictures! So this week, I'll just briefly share a few of the great books we shared with our students.

     All week long, we displayed the creative works of our 8th grade Language Arts students, who had written poems  describing the feelings of being social insiders and outsiders. Alongside those poems, we featured books that also grapple with some of those feelings, in individuals and among groups of friends. Click on the links to learn more about each, and then visit our library to check them out!

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jaqueline Kelley

     Then at the end of the week, I visited each of the K-2nd classes for our weekly story times, and we enjoyed another classic folk tale - The Three Little Pigs. Being a retelling of the most original  version of the tale, two of the pigs do come to a tragic end, but it gave the students an excellent opportunity to discuss the consequences of hasty and foolish choices! 

These are the library picks this week - what are yours? I would love to hear what our students and their families are reading this weekend!
