Book Notes

Hi Students,

We have many new AR tests loaded on our AR site, so be sure to check them out. Many of you have been in the library checking out the latest books and we are trying to keep up with the tests, so let me know if you have a request for a test.

We are having a book fair at Barnes and Noble and the Collierville Mall. Our bookfair is scheduled for the week before Spring Break, March 10 -14, 2008.  The Tuesday night(March 11) of that week is our Family Event for the bookfair. We will have students performing to entertain the customers of Barnes and Noble. The Drama Club will also be performing some of the songs from the upcoming musical - The Nifty Fifties! Our school will receive a percentage of all sales the week of our bookfair, so please visit the bookstore and see if any books interest you. Purchases from the cafe also help our school. It will be a great time to get a cup of coffee and look for a good book. I’ll be there Tuesday night from 6:00 - 8:00.

Good-by for now - Keep on reading!

Mrs. France

Welcome back to school everyone! I hope you had a great summer and you found some time to read. There were some great books available this summer. I’m sure most of you have read or at least heard about the last Harry Potter book. I thought it was great! I can’t believe that is the last book about Harry and his friends at Hogwarts. It has been an incredible series of books and if you haven’t read them, you need to.
I’ve also been reading some really good mysteries. They are my favorite genre. I can’t get enough mysteries.
I’ll see you in class soon and we can share notes about good books and authors.
Can’t wait to see you all.
Bye for now,
Mrs. France

Hi Everybody! I hope you are having a great summer. This is a great time to find a good book to share with your friends or find a great new author and pass that name around.
If you have found any great books you would like to recommend, let us know.
I have been reading quite a lot. I’ve been enjoying some mysteries by Lillian jackson Braun. They are light and easy reading. They have the word “cat” in the title. The main charecter has two siamese cats and they help him solve the mysteries. There are 28 books in the series, but you don’t have to read them in order. However, it might be easier to understand the storyline if you do.
Try it and have fun!
