Bookmarks!

Grade 5s were working hard on their bookmarks this week!

Students picked their favorite novel, they then wrote the title/author/series info and drew a picture that represented their novel. Mrs. Vanderbeek will get them laminated and give them back to the students to use :)

A lot is happening in the library!

To the tips of trees,

And fans the flames

With an icy breeze
