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 2011.

Our Reading Road Trip

Buckle your seatbelts, 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 ECC and 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 this month, we’re off to explore the Northeast, focusing on New England, and then in November, on 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.  The link is also at the top of this page of our blog.  You’ll find online sources with facts about the 50 states and educational games, as well as themed booklists.

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