Library time isn't all about reading! Some days we get our creative energy going in other ways. (They had testing this week, so a change in the way they used their brain was good for them.) These students made paper sculptures and constructed a basketball hoop out of junk.

During the student's library time, we try our best to find at least one book that they can read some if not all of the words. Well, this 1st grader was so proud of herself for reading both books, that we had to get a photo! It even made the Wall of Reading Fame in the Library!

We know you all have been waiting to learn the book winner for NU Elementary's March Madness Book Battle! The finale was between Underwear and I'm A Unicorn. The book with the most votes was Underwear! Each classroom will be receiving a copy of Underwear for their classroom library. A big shout out goes to Mrs. Heinert for introducing the daily books and the readers. Thank you to teachers for teaching these students and being patient with the daily schedule change through the month of March. Also, parents, give yourself and your student readers a big pat on the back! They all did amazing!
