Library News from Mrs. Williams

As we celebrate the Christmas holidays, let‟s

not forget – JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE

SEASON! The joy of sharing books is a gift you

can give children from the time they are born.

Chanting nursery rhymes, singing songs, &

reading stories can comfort & entertain even

the youngest child.

Students visit the library weekly - either on

Monday or Tuesday. This is a great &

rewarding experience for each child. Reading

encourages decision making and responsibility

skills. Parents PLEASE, PLEASE encourage your

child to return their library book(s). Students

are able to check out a book ONLY if they

have returned a previously checked out book.

Reading is the best gift you can give to a child.

You can‟t break it nor lose it. So please take an

interest in “Reading Aloud” to your child

which is one of the most effective ways to

build literary skills & prepare your child for

success in school.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS

•Parents, thank you so much for your help with our Thanksgiving Feast. This

school year is passing by so quickly. All of our students are in need of more

glue sticks, crayons, pencils and facial tissues. We will be starting our reading

books soon. Thank you so much for helping your child to develop a daily

reading schedule. It helps them tremendously. Our classes will be voting on

what kind of meal they want for the celebration of Jesus‟ birthday. Also our

students will participate in a book exchange. If you would love for your child

to participate please send in a wrapped book (good for either a girl or boy

to read) by December 19th.
