All students arrived, visited the library, and checked out their first book!
This was the first time that all 700+ students had walked into the OES Library. Their expressions of excitement....'Oooooh' and 'WOW!' ....were so fun to see, as the OES Library is more than twice as big as their library from the year before.
We discussed the expectations (rules) of using a library and caring for library books, completed a Book Care Pledge sheet and checked out our first book! 1st and 2nd grade students shared their hugs and their compliments... 'I love library!' It just melts this librarian's heart!
The funny for the week... Each student got an apple pie or cotton candy 'scratch and sniff' bookmark. As a little boy was leaving, smelling his bookmark he said "Ooh la la!"
Highlighted Book Titles: Bad Kitty by Nick Bruel and Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
