'Tis the Season to be Making

Grade 5 students embraced a festive building challenge. Check out the impressive book sculptures featuring a holiday cast of characters! We found a new fun way to find books on the shelf, too! Our students collaborated to create eye-catching, creative installations.

Students also trimmed our library Christmas tree with some origami. All are welcome to try a challenge of folding a Santa, star or tree ornament and add it to our collection.

Reading is a Gift

This week each class received a special holiday gift. The gift of reading! A bundle of books was delivered to each class tied up with a red ribbon. Books about Christmas, Hannukkah, winter, and snow were included as well as some festive bookmarks to color. 

The gift is simple. Enjoy reading some holiday books together. Then, tie them back up and pass the gift on to another class to enjoy. (After wiping them down, of course. Celebrate with caution this year.)

Students were invited to share a favourite book to recommend to others. Stop by to take a look at our "Reading is a Gift" tree outside the entrance to the library. You just might find your next favourite book to read over the holidays!
