This week Pennekamp students are on half-day schedule, except for kindergarteners, who are on regular schedule. Students are being assessed to determine their Fountas and Pinnell (F&P) reading level. Did you know that you can search the library's catalog for books at specific F&P levels? At the bottom of the Catalog search screen, select Fountas and Pinnell from the Reading Programs pull down, and then put in whatever level letters you wish. (Be sure to remove this filter when you resume searching for books irrespective of level, though, or it may appear that the library has fewer books than it actually does!)
Students in grades 2 and 3 are hearing about the Dewey Decimal System this week. Second-graders will be receiving a bookmark with popular Dewey topics listed.
Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has a new series of middle-grade mystery/adventure books coauthored with Gregory Mone, a journalist. The two authors will be speaking at Mira Costa on Wednesday, September 13, at 6:00 p.m. I believe all tickets have been distributed, but interested folks can add their names to a ticket waitlist. This event is sponsored by Pages, our local independent bookstore.
Friday is both Picture Day and our Dragon Jamboree! Picture Day speaks for itself. The Dragon Jamboree (Friday, 4-7 p.m.) is a school fundraiser that's basically like a huge carnival on the field! It is for students and their families and friends. There will be food, games, prizes, live music, and (everyone's favorite) a dunk tank! Don't miss this super fun Dragon event!
