St. Pius X is participating in the Braum's Book Buddy program. It is a reading incentive program to promote a positive attitude in children for a lifetime love of reading. The program is for students in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The Braum's Book Buddy program gives children the opportunity to read for delicious prizes from Braum's! Each child can earn up to six Braum's treats throughout the year including Single Dip Sundaes, Single Dip Ice Cream Cones and more! Ask your child's teacher for more details.
Our listening library contains almost 175 titles. The sets that contain a book/cd were purchased with grant funds given to the library from Target. The sets (over 100) that contain a book/cassette were donated by my aunt that is a retired school teacher. Mrs. Fernandez, our elementary Spanish teacher, also donated some book sets in Spanish.
Kindergarten is listening to one of our new Halloween books from the listening library. Lucy gets to be the teacher and is prompted by the "beep" when it's time to turn the page.
The 5th graders found this caterpillar trying to crawl into the library and quickly named it Bookworm. I brought him inside so he could read, but he made a cocoon instead. We are all anxious to see what happens next!
