Sock Puppet Video ~ Help Us Decorate the Library!! {Part 2}

Ms. Rodgers and I created this video using the Sock Puppets App for the iPad. Hope you enjoy it! Please come down to the library for your instructions, with your teachers permission, of course!

Help Us Decorate the Library!!

We're decorating the library for the holidays and we need your help!!

Here’s what you can do:

• Choose and read a new book that you haven’t read before. {Have someone read to you if you’d like!} Older kids, don’t be afraid to choose a picture book. There are some fun ones out there!
• Decorate an ornament like a character from the book. You can create an ornament on your own or come to the library for paper cut outs to give you a head start!
• You can use crayons, markers, paint, whatever else you like!
• You can glue things to your ornament, but please do not use food!!
• Fill out the form on the back of this paper and return it with your ornament, as soon as possible! Our tree is bare! {Please stop down in the library for this form if you haven't received one yet!}
• Everyone who participates will receive a little gift from the library!

Thank you!

We have a WINNER!!!

Thank you to all the students who participated in the "How Many Beads in the Jar?" activity! The official number of beads is 2,304. Our student who guessed the closest, without going over, was Madason in fifth grade! She guessed 1,590! However, we had another student guess even closer, but went over, so I wanted to recognize her as well. Kiley in fifth grade guessed 2,343! I will contact both ladies for their prizes!

Keep watching for more contests!!

Estimation Jar --- Guessing Extended ONE WEEK ONLY!!

Okay, Glenbrook students!! You have ONE MORE WEEK to make your guess on our estimation jar. We want you ALL to stop in the library and participate! Come on in, make your guess and on Friday, November 16 we will announce our winner!

Little Bird Tales

I am so excited! I had the honor of working with Mrs. Skinkis's class on a poetry project that we put into a program called Little Bird Tales. Here is the result of all of our hard work!

You might have to turn up your volume as some of our little birdies are quieter than others! Enjoy!

How Many Beads in the Jar? {Students Only!}

This activity requires you to visit the library, look at the jar AND reply on our blog! Please stop in the library either during your checkout time or any other time (that is approved by your teacher!). After you look at our bead jar, make a guess as to how many beads there are in the jar and write your guess in the comment section. REMEMBER: You MUST come see me in the library to have me approve your comment. This contest will end on Friday, November 9, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. I will announce the winner the following Monday morning. The winner is the person who has the closest guess WITHOUT GOING OVER! If there is more than one winner, I will put the names in a hat and choose one winner. There will be a little prize bag filled with goodies for the winner. If someone guesses the EXACT number of beads in the jar, that person will get an extra special prize!!

Good luck and happy guessing!!

PicMonkey

I found this website while doing a little hunting for a site where you can do cool things with pictures. This one is FABULOUS! There are so many fun things that you can do with images on this site but I love doing photo collages so I did a sample one for you! The best part? You don't have to sign up for an account and it is so easy to use! Your kids can use this since they don't have to sign up either! {Come visit me if you have any questions!}

Here is my sample collage. I used images from the sample folder on my computer!
