Scholastic Reading Kick Off

The time has come for us to start promoting Summer Reading! 

If you have students return our Summer Reading Success Workshop invitation (blue paper), PLEASE send those to me (Mrs. Benitez).

Students will be able to login to Scholastic Summer Reading using CLEVER!!! So they do not need to remember a new username & password, it will be their google account information! YAY!

Promoting Summer Reading

For the remainder of the school year you will start to see calendars from Aldine Public Library & Barnes and Noble with Events for our students (and your own kids). 

We want to make sure that we are encouraging our students to read over the summer, we do not want to see the Summer Slide happen to our students. 

Book Check-Out

The last day for book check-out was April 20th (for students)!

All Library Books will be due May 4th (for students)!
All Library Books will be due May 25th (for teachers)!

Starting May 7th, I will start sending notices home twice a week with overdue and late books.

***Please make sure students understand they will not get their report cards without taking care of overdue and lost books***

Bookmarks

Over the next couple of days you will receive two different book marks! 

One of these book marks give usernames & passwords for our Online Databases, and the other one gives usernames & passwords for Ebook Access ALONG with information for Scholastic Summer Reading!

EXTRA LIBRARY CHECK OUT

Starting next week, I will have an additional check out time, in the 400 Collaborative Space. 

I know that I only see some of you ONCE during our 15 day Rotation, so this should help us to get our students new books regularly. 

I will be Library on a Cart, during normal ancillary and we will meet in the 400 Collaborative Space as well as extra check out times.

The BLUE highlighted areas are the times that you may send TWO students at a time to the Collaborative Space for EXTRA Check Out. 

If you have any questions, please let me know!
