The books committee is in charge of helping increase the size and scope of our classroom libraries. Each teacher has a selection of books in the classroom that the children can read & the teachers can utilize as time allows. The best way to get kids reading is to get books in their hands. This committee is in charge of finding out what the classroom's needs are and how best the PTA can facilitate them. Volunteers are needed at PTA events to help collect & organize donated books.
May 2009 Update:Our PTA collected 150 books at the Family Dance & 509 books at the Spring Fling! The books were sorted and given to each classroom to enhance the independent reading program and enhance our classroom libraries. Thank you for your support!!!!
The Books Committee, in coordination with the teachers, will be developing a more concise list of books desired/needed in our classroom. Until then, here is the "short list" of age appropriate books that you may consider donating to our classrooms. Reading Teacher Sarah Lamb always goes through the books we get donated, separates them according to grade level and helps distribute them to the classrooms. Donations are accepted all year long. Just bring them to the office.CLASSROOM LIBRARIES
