Danielle Book Club: Maze Runner

As you can imagine, I am in a LOT of book clubs. One of my very favorites though, is a group of 5th grade girls where I'm not the leader!  We're called the Danielle Book Club, after our friend Danielle who started the club but moved away a couple months ago. 

I don't have to collect books, help figure out which book we're reading next, decide when we're meeting, or anything. It's so nice to just be a participant once in a while.  We elected President Ava & Vice President Madison.

We read Maze Runner by James Dashner, and then some of us went to see the movie last week!  Check out Mackenzie, Mireia, and me outside of the theater.

Next we're reading Eye of Minds, also by James Dashner.

94 students attend Dr. Seuss' Birthday Party

Last Night was Dr. Seuss' Birthday Party. 94 students attended a story rotation, had milk and cookies, entered in a raffle for 9 prizes including special activities with teachers and gift certificates from neighborhood restaurants, and finally, our Dr. Seuss film festival. We watched movies directed by Mrs. Lajaunie, Mrs. Fournier and her student library crew, Fournier's Friends, Ms. Bell, and 5th grader Andy James. We ended with our epic version of "Horton Hears a Who." Check out our last entry for a preview of it and more information on the stars.

Dr. Seuss' birthday party tomorrow night!

Tomorrow, the library is throwing Dr. Seuss a birthday party! Meet us here on Tuesday, 3/6/12, at 6:30 pm in the cafeteria. We'll enjoy a silly Seussy story rotation, followed by cookies and milk. Then, we'll dim the lights and enjoy some short films based on the work of Dr. Seuss, directed and starring Forest North students and staff! Please watch this preview for the staff's version of "Horton Hears a Who." The preview is a Photostory, but the actual film itself is entirely live action and the directorial debut of Mrs. Lajaunie! Watch the whole movie tomorrow night!
