Hello Parents,

We have started our Dystopian Themed book club. Some students are reading the City of Embers by Jeanne DuPrau, The Last Wild by Piers Torday and Tripods by John Christopher. Meanwhile, Ms. Szeto is reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. Throughout our book club, we will be completing mini-projects and having discussions with our book club groups on Friday. We can't wait to share!

A note about the Book Fair:

Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school March 19 & 20, 2020. We invite your entire family to participate by purchasing the latest and greatest in children’s books. Your support helps us obtain new books and resources for our library and classrooms.

Visit the Scholastic Book Fairs website at www.scholastic.ca/bookfairs to read reviews of the Featured Books. You can also watch book trailers and author videos with your child on the BookTube page.

A Book Fair flyer that provides a preview of only a FEW of the many books available to purchase at our Fair will be going home.  The flyer also contains a special Family Draw ballot that students can deposit during their classroom preview visit. You could win $50.00 in books - $25.00 for your family PLUS $25.00 for your child’s classroom! The draw will be made Thursday afternoon, March 20, 2020 at 1:30 pm.
