Summer Reading Suggestions by TDSB Librarians

Check out your email from grade parents coming soon - included is a list of Summer Reading books for grades K to 8.
And don't forget - kids of all ages like being read to!

Gecko update:
Our female has now laid 3 sets of eggs and we are awaiting the arrival of our first hatchlings. Incubation is around 2 months and she laid the first set April 27th- we have been very patient!
Sydney, from Ms. Young's class, adopted Uma and has taken her home.
Spot, any hatchlings and the remaining eggs will be returned to Reptilia the last week of June. It has been a very rewarding and interesting program and I look forward to continuing it next year (OK the students begged:))

Thank you to all of the parents and the Literacy Committee members that have supported the library this year. It is a very exciting place to work and your support has been very much appreciated.
