AUTHOR VISIT!!!

On Monday, January 30, we will be honored with a visit from author Virginia Pilegard. She wrote a wonderful series of books called

The Warlord's Series.  They are acclaimed for their unique and artful approach to introducing math concepts to young readers. Each mathematical adventure is set in China, and encourages children to use their imaginations and math skills to find solutions to the characters' dilemmas. Her books are on the California Department of Education's Recommended Literature List.

We will send home order forms, immediately after Winter Break, so that parents have the option of purchasing one or more autographed copies of Ms. Pilegard's books.

Stay tuned

Books Count!

Books Count! is a parent-monitored, voluntary K-3 reading program facilitated by the library and the PTA.  Booklets were distributed during the week of November 14 at parent conferences. Students earn prizes when they complete each goal and receive them when they bring their booklets to the Books Count! cart located outside the library everyday at 2:35 pm. Kindergarten students will have their booklets checked during the Books Count! time in their classes. Prizes will be awarded

Nov. 28, through Friday, April 7, 2012.

This year we have some fabulous new prizes, such as 4-Star Movie rental certificates and lunch with UCD athletes, as well as erasers, donated by Teach Your Children; NDE water bottles or slates, made by Phi Beta Phi sorority; picture in the library; Dos Coyote Kid’s meals; Applebees’ certificates; picture magnets; Davis Musical Theater tickets; Cultive Yogurt certificates; our ever popular, Popcorn with the Principal, etc.

Not only is Books Count! fun, it is a wonderful way to help your child along the road to being a good reader and a successful student. 

Reading with your child is a gift that has lasting value.

So let’s get into the habit of reading everyday with Books Count!
