This week pretty much all classes are hearing books about baseball. Why? Because baseball is fun, interesting, and intersects with American history. For specific titles please click over to the Weekly Readalouds page of this website.

Also this week students will be encouraged to check out poetry in preparation for our annual school Poem-in-Your-Pocket event next week. National Poem-in-Your-Pocket Day is Thursday, April 27, this year. It is just that: a day to carry a poem with you and share poetry with others. For our observance, students who have a poem in their pocket when their class visits the library can read their poem aloud and have their photo taken for this year's Pocket Poem poster. 

The renovation of the library has really come along! I am waiting for a couple of remaining aspects to come together, then I will post a new picture! The students seem to be enjoying the changed space, and I certainly am. Thanks again to the PTA and to Dr. Brown for the awesome improvements.

    Worth repeating:
     
    ​"There are so many things we don’t know, that we can’t possibly account for, but that’s kind of how life works. It might not seem that way yet, when you’ve had people telling you what to do and where to be all your life, but the reality is, when you make your own decisions, you never really know where they’ll lead, or what will come next. All you can do is make choices and move forward. And actually, what ends up happening is, the more you learn, the more you realize you still have to learn."
