Dumpy the library PIG

While on an early morning walk, I spied a porcine face peering out of a large white dumpster. I made my husband carry it on the 2 mile hike home. What a find! Dumpy has had such a good time in the library. She has been kidnapped twice by teachers and decorated and she has celebrated every holiday.

Dumpy came to a good end when the top 30 students who had checked out and read the most books this year got to take a smack at Dumpy. (She actually is a piñata.)

It was a great year at Butler Elementary. We wish all of you a wonderful relaxing summer!

Welcome to the Garden of Readin'!  (I know...AWESOME, right?)  This is all ready for fall...except we need a park bench or two.  We are still looking!  The butterflies and flowers are made from pages of old books!

What Will You Read Next?: Module 7 Lesson 1 #2

The students are always looking for new books to read.  Mrs. Allison and Mrs. Coombs used the district's purchase of the Public Performance Site License to print posters of  favorite books as a display in the library. The students can find the books on their own by reading the call numbers on the posters. This has been a valuable resource for the students to refer to throughout the year.
