Summer fun!!

It's almost time for summer so that means it's time for summer reading fun!

Check out the Holt Summer Symbaloo for links to all kinds of reading fun for the summer including the suggested summer reading list at the bottom.  Have fun, read a ton, then come back and tell me all about it!!
 

Some "in-tents" reading!

We enjoyed another year of Camp Wanna-Read-a-Lot this week!  It is so much fun to read in tents "all night long" and it signals the end to another year of Carol Holt Library.  Books are being turned in daily and soon winners will be drawn to pick prizes if they are clear in the library.  Look high, look low, look everywhere you know and find those books!!

Summer Reading!!

I will add more links as I find them.  Don't forget to check out the summer reading lists on the Carol Holt library page. Enjoy!!

Camp Wanna-Read-a-Lot!!

We are winding down another year of Camp Wanna-Read-a-Lot!  It is so much fun to read in tents with flashlights "all night long" and it signals the end to another year of Carol Holt Library.  Books are being turned in daily and soon winners will be drawn to pick prizes if they are clear in the library.  Look high, look low, look everywhere you know and find those books!!

Kindness Challenge accepted!

Following our wonderful author visit with Donna Janell Bowman, I decided our students need to take Kindness Challenges during the month of April when it's easy to forget that we need to be kind to each other.  Challenge accepted!

Each colorful slip of paper has been signed by a student acknowledging they met at least one of the four challenges announced each week.

Hopefully, this will help our campus think and choose kindness all year but especially at the end of the school year!

Choose Kindness!

Our visiting author, Donna Janell Bowman, will be visiting with all of our students on April 2.  Her book, Step Right Up: How Doc and Jim Key Taught the World about Kindness, is on the 2018-2019 Texas Bluebonnet Award master list.  All classes have heard the book and have taken the Kindness Pledge Mrs. Bowman offers on her website.  We look forward to hearing more about the unique characters, Doc Key and his horse, Jim. 

We will also celebrate the book birthday of her latest book, Abraham Lincoln's Dueling Words.

Artists in Residence

Our January Night at the Library is all about Artists in Residence.  Come visit the library at 6:30 and show off your artistic abilities.  One of the books that will be read is one of my favorites:

Here are examples of the artwork for the event:
