Blue Spruce in the Library!
The Forest of Reading program, Blue Spruce, is for students in K-3 at LKS. As the students come to the library with their class, library teachers are reading one of 10 books that have been picked by the Ontario Library Association. At the end of the 10 books, students will be asked to vote for the favourite and I will be submitting the results from LKS to the OLA. Students in K-2 are working on a "forest passport", where they rate the book (in happyfaces) and draw their favourite character or event from the book. We also start each lesson with the Forest song. Ask your child how it goes (here is a hint "Here's some good news, Blue Spruce is here, There are 10 books, Lets give a cheer...").
We will be finished reading all 10 books by April and I am looking forward to seeing what book has been the favourite. Melanie Watt, author of Scaredy Squirrel, has been an LKS favourite in the past and she has another book, Chester, on the list this year. You never know...
Visit the OLA's website to find out the books on this and other Forest programs this year.
