Beach Towels and Books

The books are due back for summer beginning next week... sad!! But the books need rest too. When classes come to the library, we will read and relax on our beach towels... we call it beach towels and books. Library is the best, y'all!

Thanks to Mrs. Masterson at Purefoy for the great idea. :)

Also, this month we circulated 3,013 items. Woot! We are busy here at Pink! Thank goodness we have our wonderful aide Tracey Fox here to help with books and SO MANY OTHER THINGS that help the library run smoothly.

Pink Library's Pumpkin Patch!

The Pink Library is growing a storybook pumpkin patch and we need your help!  Students in all grades can decorate a pumpkin to look like a favorite storybook character and bring it to the library to “plant” in our Storybook Pumpkin Patch!

No REAL pumpkins will be accepted; please use a FAKE pumpkin (real pumpkins can quickly deteriorate and rot).

·        Think of your favorite book and design your pumpkin based on your favorite character and fill out the form on the back

·        Fake pumpkins can be found at the Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart, Target, and many other stores.

·        Gather your decorating supplies.  Acrylic paints or permanent markers work best. Other options include adding materials such as yarn, buttons, wiggly eyes, etc.

·        Bring your pumpkin and form to the library starting Friday, October 11^th.  Pumpkins are to be taken home at the end of school on Friday, November 4^th.  If your child needs assistance getting it home please make arrangements. 

*** All pumpkins will be disposed of on November 4th at 3:30 pm.

·        Participation is completely voluntary and this is not a contest!

·        Questions?  Email Mrs. Butler butleram@friscoisd.org

Kinder and First: Quiet or LOUD!

Those kinder and first graders come back from summer REALLY excited! We read the book "Shh, We Have a Plan" by Chris Haughton. We discussed that the guys in this story really needed to be quiet in order to get what they wanted... the bird! Sometimes, there are time that we need to be quiet!

Once we read our book, we watched this quick video from Sesame Street called Quiet or Loud! The students loved it, they giggled a lot! This video really hit the message home, there is a good time to be loud and a good time to be quiet. We brain stormed places to be loud and places we can be quiet. The library always come up on the list but it's up to you where you'd like it to be... quiet or loud... :)

                       

Kinder watching the video!

Happy 4th week of school everyone!
