Thank you for supporting our PTA by clicking through to Amazon from this website when you shop for books and the other things that can be purchased on Amazon. There has been a dramatic increase in the revenue generated by this feature of the library website! In case you have not heard, all that is required is that you click on the icon shown directly to the right of this post, which takes you to Amazon. If you are already logged in to Amazon, you can begin to shop as you normally would; if not, you can then log in and shop. There is a code for our school embedded in the URL, so any purchases made after the "click-through" earn money for our PTA. It's that easy, and costs you (the Amazon customer) nothing extra. I hope you find this an easy way to support the PTA, and you can check on what's happening in the library before you start your shopping!
Although it feels a bit early, this week I am beginning stories about coming to America. The United States is composed largely of people whose ancestors came to this land from somewhere else, excepting those who are part of the Native American nations, tribes, or cultures. Thanksgiving seems to me an ideal time to think about how and why people make the decision to set out for a new life elsewhere, despite the challenges of doing so. It so happens that our upcoming book fair (from December 1 to 5) will have an international theme, so this week's readalouds also head us toward that exciting event. Next week we are off school both Monday and Tuesday, which means that most classes that attend library on those days will simply not visit as a class next week. The week after that I will preview book fair selections, and then it is already Thanksgiving break!
Last but not least, the library's food drive has concluded, and I am so grateful for our school's generosity! We gathered a tremendous amount of food, which I will deliver to the L.A. Regional Food Bank on Monday, November 11. To everyone who participated in the drive, thank you for helping those in need.
