I have updated the website to include book trailers to go with the book reviews. I think this will be a cool bonus to help you decide it you want to read one of the books I have listed there. I have also found the websites www.epicreads.com and www.harperteen.com that offer lots of info about up and coming books. The Epic Reads website has links to the first few chapters of some of the books so you can try it out and see if you like it.
We have new books in the library! It is just like Christmas everytime we get new books. I love it! There are some great titles in this shipment including the 5th and 6th book in the Blue Bloods series as well as a short story collection from that series. We also got the next book in the House of Night series and The Missing series and The Witch ans Wizard series. In addition to all that, we also ordered some new dystopian novels (like The Hunger Games.)
I also have added a new page to the website called Who I Am Poems. Here you can look at each of the avatars created by students in the latest library lesson. In the drop box under the Who I Am Poems tab you can choose to different grade levels to look at. See if you can guess who posted which avatar.. So in the month of January, one one my favorite authors, Colleen Houck, was having an art contest for art centered around the Tiger's Voyage book. Even though I am not an artist I submitted a drawing in the hopes that I would win and we would have a new audiobook for the library. Well, I didn't win (not surprisingly) but they did post all the entries online. So if you click this link it will take you to the web album with all the art entries. If you scroll down just a little ways you can see an entry that is two drawings of hands. This is mine. So check it out and let me know what you think.
I know that it's strange to have another new website this school year. But, in my defense, I went to a Technology in Motion training last week and the instructor told us about Weebly.com and how easy it was to use and how elaborate you could make your websites. So I decided to give it a shot. I have so loved this new website, and I hope ya'll do too. I hope that it can be a site that you can use for fun and to help you in your school work.
