Texas Bluebonnet Reading Club

This is a reading program for 3rd and 4th grader, it is designed to encourage students to read more and choose a variety of books. Each student needs to read or have read to them 5 current (2008-2009) Bluebonnet books. They must pass each test with a 70 or higher by themselves.  These need to be read by December 19th. In January we will all meet to discuss which books we like to most and vote on a Bluebonnet Book of the year.

• Kindergarten - Because they are just learning how to take care of books and how to become responsible library user, will only check out only one book per week.

• 1st grade - may check out one book until they begin AR.

• 2nd - 4th grade - may check out two books.

• Late fines are five cent per book, per day.

• Students must pay for the replacement cost for damaged or lost books.

• Overdue notices will be sent through email. (Please make sure your email is current)

• When a students fines reach $1.00 they will not be allowed to check out books until the fines are paid.

• Book Care: please NEVER try to mend a book. Return it to the library for proper care.

I have worked for Wylie ISD for 8 years now, 5 years @ Dodd. After substituting in the district for over 2 years. I have worked in Pre-K, kindergarten, First grade and the gym. This is my first year in the library. I am truly enjoying working with all the students in the Library.

To empower is to write

To write is to influence

To influence is to change

To change is to live."
