Earth Day, April 22, is the focus of most class visits this week. Our school will be participating in environmental activities all week, and this week's reading selections will educate and inspire on that topic as well, especially concerning the ocean environment and the problem of trash production.
On Thursday, April 21, staff members from the Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab and Aquarium will be visiting the library to talk about caring for the ocean environment. Classes who come to library on Thursday (Barney, Rumble, Price, and Moreno) will be treated to this special event.

On Tuesday, April 19, at 7:00 p.m., author D.J. MacHale (the Pendragon series, The Monster Princess) will be speaking at Pages: A Bookstore, our town's local independent bookstore. Known for the Pendragon series and The Monster Princess, MacHale is an interesting and engaging speaker; and as this event takes place on the publication date of The Black, the second book in MacHale's new Morpheus Road series, it should be a very exciting evening.

The book club meets this Wednesday, April 20, from 1:30 to 2:30 in the library. Our selection this time (chosen by the club participants) is Keeper, by Kathi Appelt, a 2011 Newbery Honor book. We will have one more club meeting this year and will choose our next book from the district's list of books recommended for pleasure reading for students entering grades 4 and 5. Our club members who are currently in grade 5 are encouraged to consult the list of books for students entering grade 6, of which each student is required to read three. Before grade 6, all district reading lists are simply for students' pleasure reading--suggested books on these lists are not required.
