I have been able to see each class of students and welcome everyone back to the library during the past two weeks. I has been wonderful to hear about the books read, places visited ,and fun times everyone had over the summer. Starting this month the library programs will begin running. We have 2x2 and Blubonnet Reading Programs as well as Book Clubs and Readers Theatre Clubs all staring soon.
The 2x2 Reading Program is designed for children age 2 through 2nd grade. Any K, 1 or 2 students at Bledsoe who choose to participate will need to read all 20 books on the list. Forms will be passed out next week and should be returned by Christmas Break. 2x2 readers will be announced at Good Morning Bledsoe as forms are turned in and small prizes will be rewarded.
The Bluebonnet Reading Program is for students in 3-6th grade. In order to participate students will need to read at least 5 of the 20 listed books and fill out a Book Buzz for each. Bluebonnet Readers will be anounced at Good Morning Bledsoe and al students who succede in reading 5 of these books will be given the oportunity to vote for their favorite in January. Students all across Texas vote for these books and determine which Book and Authoer will recieve the Bluebonnet Award. There are various extention events in combination with this Reading Program including a Bluebonnet Battle Gameshow and Bluebonnet Party in the Spring.
Book Clubs will be held during grade levels Lunch/Recess Block, as well as before and/or after school. During Book Club a small group of students who are interested in a particular book will meet to discuss as well as create videos and other book projects to share their book with other students. Clubs are avaliable to grades 3, 4, and 5.
Readers Theatre Club is specifically for 2nd grade and will meet during recess once a week. Students will work on Reading Fluency and Expression. Students will practice a script and then perform for BNN or GMB.
I am looking forward to working with studnets during these various clubs and programs to encourage a love for reading and simply to enjoy stories and books together. This is going to be a great year!
