Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!!

Our school will celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday all week long February 29-March 4.  It will be as fun as eating Green Eggs and Ham!

Author visit!!

One of the Texas Bluebonnet Award list authors visited our school today!  Peggy Eddleman is visiting our school district from her home state of Utah and we learned a lot about her, her books Sky Jumpers and The Forbidden Flats (Sky Jumpers #2).  We also learned about her writing process and some interesting personal facts as well.

View the Sky Jumpers book trailer:

Do you know how to find...?

Almost any answer that an elementary student might be looking for can be found in our library databases.  You can find the databases on the library webpage and I hand out bookmarks with the login information on a regular basis.  So what are you waiting for?  Start searching!!

One of our favorite visiting authors, James Ponti, has just released the last book in the Dead City trilogy.  We can't wait to read it!! Read carefully - there may be mention of certain Mansfield teachers and librarians inside.

Summer is coming soon! Are you ready?

Summer will be here before you know it.  Do you have plans?  I hope so!  Be sure to read lots of books and join in as many summer reading programs as you can.  Look here for that information as well as other fun things for you and your family to do.
