Traveling "Guac Star" is Making His Rounds!
Since Mr. Potato Head and his companion book, Supertato, was a hit last year, we decided once again to celebrate the end of state testing and the end of the school year with another traveling book promo!
Paired with the book Bravo Avocado, our "Guac Star" is making his rounds to the classrooms. Teachers are encouraged to read the book aloud to their students, mark their name off the list found on the back of Mr. Avocado, and move him to another teacher's room. Teachers then hang a sign outside their classroom door that reads "We have been "Guaced" by the "Guac Star!"
Bravo Avocado is a picture book about self-discovery and the value of uplifting one's friends. It is filled with clever food-based puns and vibrant illustrations.
Since he is life-sized, it is kind of hard to ignore or forget about the "Guac Star"! From all reports, students are enjoying the book and having Mr. Avocado join their class for a day or two!
A huge shout out to Library Assistant, Jenny Armstrong, and Alice's hubby, Mark Reinert, for creating Mr. Avocado! Both Jenny and Mark "guac"!
May the Books Be With You!
Students put their names in the hat to see which student (one from each class) was the lucky recipient of a Star Wars giveaway (see display above). Giveaways included tee shirts, socks, cups, sketch pad kits, temporary tattoos, sticker books, Star Wars books, pencils, pens, bubble tubes, bounce balls, Princess Leia's Buns (honeybuns), Lightsabers (Twizzler licorice sticks), and bookmarks.
We have several Star Wars series in our library appealing to all ages and reading levels. Our newest series is in Graphic Novel format, and it is very popular with the students.
The celebration was a fun way to greet the month of May!
Judy Schultz copies and cuts out bookmarks, one of the many behind-the-scene tasks that our volunteers help with.
