Our 6th grade is covering "Fractured Fairy Tales" in Language Arts. Fractured Fairy Tales can be found in all forms of literature, from "Everybody" books,graphic novels, to young adults novels. Below are some book trailers for some Fractured Fairy Tales found in Young Adult Literature that I found on YouTube.

Gathering of Gamers

In case you didn't know, the library is more than a place to find great books and do research. I am excited to announce that next week we'll be offering our first "Gathering of Gamers" during lunch shifts. Students can come down to the library with their lunches, play some good old-fashioned board games and card games. Come hang out with your friends and enjoy the library in a new way. We'll be playing cards, battleship, Risk, and other great games. See you there.

25 Book Challenge

Finding time to read can be difficult even when you love to read. Between practices, homework, and helping out Mom and Dad there is barely enough time relax, let alone read. However, studies have shown that reading for both pleasure and information leads to academic success. Plus, it forces us to stop, relax, and lose ourselves in a world that isn't our own. Whether you like to read mysteries, fantasy, realistic fiction, magazines, or graphic novels the important thing is to make time for reading. This year we are challenging staff and students to read 25 books from the beginning of October to the end of May. Are you up for the Challenge?
