Texas Reading Challenge
Kinder-2nd Grade
Texas 2X2 Reading Challenge
Students received their reading challenge this week if your family would like to participate. They can read the 20 fiction/non-fiction books on the list and bring it back to me for a library treasure box. We have the books in our library but they are checked out a lot. So you can also find them at public libraries. Just a fun way to enjoy some books together and read some new things!

3-5th Grade Reading Challenge-Bluebonnet Reading Challenge
They have been working on this since the beginning of the school year and I already have lots of participants! This challenge is for students to choose 5 of the 20 books to read. If they read 5 they get to vote for their favorite in January and come to the Bluebonnet Party in February.

Library Storybook Pumpkin Patch
We are growing a storybook pumpkin patch, and
we would love if your family would like to help! To grow our patch we need students to decorate a pumpkin to look like one of their
favorite book characters, and bring it to school for display!
**No REAL Pumpkins!**
(we don’t want rotting pumpkins in the library)
•Purchase a plastic/fake pumpkin that is NO larger in size than a basketball.
•Think of your favorite book and design your pumpkin based on your favorite character from that book.
•Gather your decorating supplies. Acrylic paints or permanent markers work best. Watercolors tend to run, and spray paint will gradually dissolve the pumpkin. You can add materials, like yarn, buttons, wiggly eyes, etc.
Participation is completely voluntary. This is not a contest.
Have fun and be creative!
You can bring your pumpkin to the library as soon
as it is ready! I will keep them on display until Thanksgiving.
