I have finished a couple of the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl books in the last few weeks. My favorite so far is Truth and
Salsa by Linda Lowery. It's a great story of a young girl who is having a hard time with her family situation and moves to live with her grandmother in Mexico. While in Mexico she works on her art, takes a part in a movie, makes a great friend, and discovers and investigates a ghost. Read it and see what you think!Speaking of the Reading Bowl, several teams have been formed at all three grade levels. We had a meeting last week and the teams were informed that they will be required to write 20 questions for 4 books by the November 13th meeting. So stop by, check out a book and get started today!
The CMS Book Fair is coming soon! The book fair will begin on November 5th, right after fall break, and run through the next Wednesday, November 12th! We will have a parent/teacher preview breakfast on the morning on November 5th and the Family Literacy Night from 6-7:30 PM on Monday, November 10th! We need student and parent volunteers for all events, so stop by and see me or email to get volunteer application.
Which HRRB books have you read? What's your favorite?
Talk to you soon!
