It’s National Library Week!
National Library Week is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation’s libraries, librarians, and library workers. It is also a time to promote library use and support.
Here is how NPES will celebrate National Library Week
*As students and the NPES community come to the library throughout the week, share with us why you LOVE your library.
*On Tuesday, April 14 at the Lexington Main Public Library from 6:00-8:00 pm, families can get a library card, check out books, and connect with other readers at our Meet @ Main event! Oak Grove Elementary, Midway Elementary and Pleasant Hill Elementary readers will join us too! Porkchop Productions will present “Rip Van Winkle” at 6:30 pm — should be DREAMY (and it’s FREE!)
*On Thursday, April 16 at the South Carolina State House, NPES 3rd graders will participate in the South Carolina READ IN on the State House grounds.
Here are other ways YOU can celebrate (at home and at school)
*Visit this website:
http://www.statelibrary.sc.gov/index.php?option=com_philaform&form_id=2&Itemid=1
and tell the South Carolina State Library why you LOVE your library
*Read a book based on a movie and then rent the movie – compare the two (a great “at home” activity)
*Eat food from a book!
- Read Everything on a Waffle and make up a batch of waffles (serve with EVERYTHING)
- Read Wild Boars Cook and bake some chocolate chip cookies
- Read a Dr. Seuss book and make Dr. Seuss hats out of red and white life savers
- Read Hansel and Gretel and make a gingerbread house
*Take a picture of each student in your room with their favorite book
*Have students survey teachers and other students about what their favorite book is, graph the results
*Have students create bookmarks based on their favorite book
Have fun!
Happy National Library Week!
Love,
Mrs. Byrd Fort
