Bridget Heos Visits Forest North

Forest North students in PreK-2, FCC & PPCD had a blast learning about how to write a book from Bridget Heos today.  Did you know that Bridget Heos has published about 100 books?  Mustache Baby was her first fiction book, where she made up a story.  She got the idea from her son and his friend laughing at a picture of a baby with a mustache.  Bridget Heos told us about how she writes a book, and how many editors will sometimes say no to a book before it gets published.  She picked kids from the audience to play the editors that turned her down or to be the last special one who said YES!  She also taught us about special goats who get a little bit of DNA in them to make their wool stronger.  Some kids bought a discounted book from our partnership with Barnes & Noble to get signed by Bridget Heos and meet our author.  Five lucky K-2 students also won a mustache drawing contest to eat breakfast with the author as well!  What a great day!  Thanks for all the fun, Bridget Heos!

Special Services Students in the Library

One of my favorite parts of my job in the Library is having weekly visits with our Special Services classes- PPCD, FCC & PreK.  These classes have weekly times they come in to hear a story, sometimes do a craft or activity, and practice checking out books.

Mrs. Samaniego's PreKindergarten morning & afternoon classes came last week to read Big Red Apple by Tony Johnston.  Afterwards, we practiced our fine motor skills by coloring an apple, and using a glue stick to put the worm on the apple.  Romina, PreKindergarten student, colored this beautiful purple apple to commemorate our special reading time.  Great work, Romina!

Divya Srinivasan Visiting 12/10!

Great news, Eagles! Divya Srinivasan, author of Little Owl's Night, Little Owl's Day, & Octopus Alone, is coming to visit Forest North on Wednesday, December 10th.  She will be giving presentations for FCC, PPCD, PreKindergarten, Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade classes.  If you want to get her to sign a book and meet her personally, you're welcome to!  Just submit this order form to Mrs. Fournier with your preferred method of payment.  Remember that checks must have a valid state ID number and phone number.
