Happy New Year 2015!

What a great week we have had at Randerson library.  Books, books and more books came back from students after a heavy dose of holiday reading :)   We shared book talks, shelfies and great books 'we' got for Christmas.  From K-7 there were non-stop discussions on books, connections, enjoyment and recommendations. There were students sharing books with friends, others recommending series, others speaking of their trips to the public library over the break.  Remember if you want to see a book in our library that we don't have, stop by and write it on the "recommended books" list.  I will be putting an order in next week. :)  Yeah to the power of FREE READING!!!

Some of the top reviewed books included;
Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Long Haul
Smile & Sisters
Cherub (the series is hugely popular with our Gr. 7 boys)

DEaR Nanaimo Clippers join Randerson kids to Drop Everything and Read

We are loving pajama day

 

 

Randerson students and staff once again took part in the annual Drop Everything and Read event.  DEar celebrates the importance of reading and the enjoyment of free reading.  Six members of the Nanaimo Clippers dropped by to read with us.  A fun time was had by all :)

This provincial wide event sees more than 70,000 students province-wide Drop Everything and Read.

Thank You Nanaimo Clippers for taking part in DEaR

 

 

Drop Everything and Read at Randerson has become a tradition kids and teachers love!  Not only do we get to read with the entire school but we get to wear our pajamas :)
