5th Grade Lunch Bunch Wrap Up

Have you ever done a simultaneous supertaster test with 35 fifth graders?  I have and it was awesome!

35 fifth graders stuck with me from October through December, meeting during lunch in the library twice a week to listen to the audiobook of Liar & Spy by Rebecca Stead, a 2014-2015 Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee.  #txbluebonnetaward I really admire their persistence and willingness to stick to a goal and finish strong.  We loved the plot twists at the end.

On the last day, we did a taste test similar to the one in the book, but more an opposite, because instead of just a few people not tasting anything, most of us tasted nothing.  In the book, they tasted for PROP.  We tasted for the supertaster gene.  Check out these students right before they taste it!

It was a blast, guys.  Thanks so much for eating lunch with me in the library the past few months!

PTA Fundraiser: Lunch with the Librarian

The Parent Teacher Association here at Forest North has a goal of 100% staff and parent participation this year. Mrs. Fournier already paid her $6 dues and ordered her awesome $13 Forest North t-shirt. The shirt features awesome art by one of our very own students!

Have you joined PTA yet? The money helps to keep us registered as an official PTA organization, and funds all of our awesome activities like Fall Carnival, Field Trips, Field Day and more!

In order to help the PTA, the library has joined forces for a special treat. At every PTA meeting this year, two members will be drawn from a hat. Each of those members gets lunch with the librarian! The student, student's classroom teacher and Mrs. Fournier will work together to make a good time for lunch together, at which time the student will get to choose a free, awesome book to keep forever! How cool is that?

If you haven't already, please join the PTA to support Forest North and to enter your student in our Lunch with the Librarian contest!

See you at the Library, Eagles!
