Too Much Glue!!

This week in library 1st, 2nd, & 3rd graders  have been reading Too Much Glue.  We then learned how to make our own glue.  I told you I would post the glue making directions on our blog, so here you go!  

7 TBSP of non-fat (skim) milk - remember you cannot use fat milk

1 TBSP of vinegar

Let the mixture sit & you can watch it form the solids.  Take a paper towel to absorb the liquid, and the solids that remain are the glue.  

Have Fun!!

I MISS YOU GUYS!

We have been on Winter Break too long!  I hope you have been reading lots.  I have wanted to read someone a book so much, I forced my dog Newman to listen to me.  You can tell he is not completely listening.  We have lots of fun things coming up in library!  Our Patriot Reading Party is this month!  We are getting close to the Super Bowl.  I wonder who the teams will be this year.  I have done a lot of reading over the break and am excited to tell you all about the books.  Enjoy your last day tomorrow and I will see you on Tuesday!  Happy New Year!!

P.S. Remember...December Patriot Reading Bookmarks are due on Friday, January 6th! Don't forget to turn it in!!

Go Broncos!!

Today in library I had a 4th Grade class who decided to decorate the library with Kansas City Chiefs pictures.  Have I not taught you guys well enough?  We cheer for the Broncos!  Mr. Harvey had his class color these pictures and put them inside all the books the kids checked in.  It was a good prank my 4th grade friends!  Now remember to read this long Thanksgiving weekend AND cheer for the Broncos on Sunday!!

Have a wonderful holiday and remember that I am so very thankful for each and every one of my Forbes kids!  You guys make my life happy & I am so glad I get to be a part of your lives!

ATTENTION 5TH GRADERS!

I am excited to announce Lunch Bunch for 5th graders.  We will be reading the book "Schooled" by Gordon Korman.  It's time to get your hippy on!  I think you will really enjoy this book and the message it presents.  I fell in love with the characters and can't wait to show you some surprises I have for this book.  Check out the "Lunch Bunch" tab above for more information!  Peace...Love...& Reading!

October Patriot Reading!

Tomorrow is the due date for October Patriot Reading!  Make sure you turn in your bookmark, signed by your parents by tomorrow, November 4th.  I have lots of new pins to choose from!

NEW BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY!

I am super excited to announce new books have moved into our library!  I am trying to get them all ready for you to read and I hope you love them.  We have some new "I Survived" titles.  If you enjoy the slightly scary books, we have a new series called "Scary Tales" that look fun and spooky.  I have added new non-fiction books as well.  I love seeing how excited you guys get when we get new books, so I thought I would give you a little "teaser" here on the blog.  Come check them out!

BOOK FAIR IS COMING!!

Next week (October 10-13) is our book fair.  Please come and take a look at all the great books Scholastic has to offer.  For every book you buy, you will receive a ticket to be entered in the drawing for a free book each day.  We will be previewing the book fair for library next week so you can take a look.  Bring your parents back to check it out too during Parent/Teacher Conferences.  All the money we earn from our book fairs go back into our library for books and other great improvements for our school.  Thanks for supporting our Forbes Book Fair!
