Paws to Read

Hi Jaguars! Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina. I am at the AASL National Library Conference.
I had the pleasure of listening to author Michael Dahl during breakfast this morning.

 He is a great guy and VERY funny! If you haven’t read one of his books, check one out from our library!
Mrs. Corbo (the CCMS librarian) and I presented today to librarians from all over the country. We even had a librarian from Venezuela!  Here we are in front of our room.

Here we are dressed as Super Heroes 

We had such fun meeting librarians from different states and countries.  Everyone was extremely nice and it was wonderful to be able to see the cool things that students are doing in schools and libraries!
I am learning so many wonderful things here. Checkout my Voki on the sidebar (Talking at you)

Happy Reading!

Oh my gosh!!! Did I enjoy reading Roal Dahl books during Roald Dahl Month!  I have always loved “The Twits”, “George’s Marvelous Medicine”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “James and the Giant Peach”, and “Matilda”, but I read some of his books that I hadn’t before….

My favorite:  “The BFG”  It made me laugh out loud.  I want to make my own dream jar to put my bed so I can always have beautiful dreams.  I also made my own BFG ears:)

So what is your favorite Roald Dahl book?  Is anyone planning on going to see the movie version of “Fantastic Mr. Fox”?  Send a comment!!

Jaguars,

Have you been reading this summer?  I have read LOTS and LOTS of great books!  One of my favorites has been Betsy-Tacy.  I had never read it before, and I decided this was the summer to read it!  Girls, it’s a really good story about two friends.  I liked it because the setting takes place before TV and electricity and battery-operated video games!  Can you imagine??  Yet the girls had fun without those things!  I recommend it.

I also had the pleasure of being read to.  Two excellent picture books:  Owen and Mzee and Molly Bannaky.

Can’t wait to see you when school begins and hear about all the wonderful books you’ve read!
