Back to School

Third grade will trying something new this year: they will be earning stickers on their library cards when they submit a blog entry. I have asked them what kind of items they would like to buy with their stickers, and they wanted Nintendo DS games, movie tickets, DVDs. I said those were a little too pricey and I was thinking pencils, erasers, cans of pop, and books. So they have a wish list and I control the pocketbook, so we will see! We will have our sales in early December and late May.

Each student will have a chance to earn 5 stickers for a perfect annotation. Perfect means everything is spelled correctly, periods end sentences, capital letters start sentences, and the blog comment is coherent. The purpose of the blog is let other students know about books that might be of interest.
