Covers for the Book Cover Contest

Paint

Here’s your chance to create an original work of art based on a book you have read.
Imagine that you have been chosen to design a book cover and could use any art medium at all (paint, crayons, markers, collage materials, etc).

All students in Kindergarten through Eighth Grade may participate and can pick up a piece of poster board in the library. Instructions are here: book-cover-contest-flyer-2016

All entries must be returned no later than Friday morning, October 21st in order to be viewed by our panel of judges. Winners will receive gift certificates to spend at the East Woods Fall Book Fair, coming to our Library beginning on Parent-Teacher Conference Day, October 26th.

Have fun being creative!

Buckle your seat belts, we’re off on a trip across the United States of America, reading our way from coast to coast!

This year in Library, students in the Lower School will learn about the wonderful country in which we live and will read books from the seven different regions of the United States. Beginning in October month, we were off to explore the Northeast, focusing on New England, and then in November, it was on to the Mid Atlantic States. We’ll make our way around the country, learning lots of fun facts and reading some great books along the way.

Keep up with our travels by visiting the web site for this project. You’ll find online sources with facts about the 50 states and educational games, as well as themed book lists.

We’ll share some postcards and “souvenirs” from our trip as we make our way across the USA,  so check back often and feel free to leave us a comment!
