Forest North Library Statistics for September

Join Ukulele Club

Mrs. Fournier & Ms. Velasquez invite 3rd, 4th & 5th graders to join us for Ukulele Club! Applications available here or in the library and are due 10/18 at 3:00! 16 lucky students will get to borrow a ukulele for the year to take home and practice. We'll meet every Tuesday after school - students who own their own ukulele are welcome to apply as well!

Bookaneer Book Fair - where Books are the Treasure!

Last night we had a blast following a treasure hunt and finding out our pirate names! Ms. Decker's name was the best- Dead Man Sparrow. 

All treasure hunters who completed the challenge earned a little Hershey-flavored Treasure, but also were entered into a drawing for a $10 gift certificate- the winner was Evie in 3rd grade. Congratulations, Evie!

Bookaneer Book Fair 10/3-10/7

Ahoy, Mateys! The BOOKANEER BOOK FAIR is upon us! Join us next week for some dastardly pirate fun. Join us during school, one of our special events (detailed below!) or shop online. All proceeds from the Book Fair go towards author visits and library books!

4th Grade Studies Place Value

4th grade is studying place value with Mrs. Velasquez & Mrs. Fournier this week in the library. They are focusing on how multiplying by ten moves any digit one place value to the left, and dividing by ten moves any digit one place value to the right. We are going to use this game to practice, and then assess our learning with a Kahoot!

Now Seeking Library Leaders!

Interested students in 2nd-5th grade are all cordially invited to apply for Library Leader positions.  This is a program of student volunteers who work in the library to keep it running smoothly. 

Library Leaders applications are due 9/14 - only two students will be selected per class, and typically we have about 60 applicants.  We will have about two students serve each class in the fall, and new students are encouraged to apply in the spring, to maximize opportunities for interested candidates. We have a grading rubric that we use with completed applications to see which students are interested in running the circulation desk and helping other students in the library. We're looking for students who can work independently, get great recommendations from their classroom teacher & have great customer service skills. We need dependable, reliable workers with good attendance records who will volunteer once a week before school to help customers find and check out books, and manage checkout for their class. We encourage you to make sure those applications are complete and returned before the deadline!

Sound like something you'd like to do?  Get the application by clicking on the photo below, or come grab one in person from the Library.
