A Day in the Life of the Library. . .

Freddy and 5th grade reading a book.
Eli engrossed in his book.
4k listening to and watching an ebook entitled "Me First" to enrich their classroom unit on manners.  Pinkerton always yelled "me first" for everything his class did, so when a voice asked who wanted a sandwich, he pushed ahead of the group and  encountered the sand"witch" (below). Our new big screen is wonderful!

Welcome to a New School Year!

AR will be ready to go Monday!  Students will be taking STAR Reading tests to determine their reading level, and we will begin checking out books next week in grades 1-6!  Please read A Parent's Guide to Accelerated Reader: http://doc.renlearn.com/KMNet/R003985016GG79F2.pdf. I am going to challenge this year's students to try and top the number of books read last year.  I'm looking forward to a great year of reading!

PDS STUDENTS READ 3,193 BOOKS THIS YEAR!

I am so proud of PDS students!  We challenged students in grades 1-6 to read 3,000 books this year, and they met and surpassed that goal--3,193 books!!!! At the last AR store, students were able to "cash in" their points for prizes, and everyone also got a prize for meeting the school's goal. Thanks to Mrs. Pami Howarth and Mrs. Holly Sanders.


Tori, our overall winner for the year with the most AR points! Congratulations, Tori!



5th grade

It spins!

So many choices! "What will I buy?"

Happy with their selections.

JUST A FEW OF OUR AR STARS!
