On January 18th from 11:45-12:45, Civil War buffs Brad Peters and Jan Ross will visit the LC to share their collection of artifacts, photos and personal tales of their visits to Civil War sites. This visit culminates our reading of The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg by Rodman Philbrick which we shared in the lunch room this fall and really enjoyed.
Don't be obstinate-- sign up for this edifying experience. It is sure to cause a ruckus!
The MCBA 101

This year, we are encouraging students to submit book reviews to our catalog, Destiny Quest. For each three MCBA books reviewed, students will earn a participation point. Be sure you have finished reading the book before you write a review. What makes a good review? Did you like the book? Why? What was interesting about it? What type of readers would like the book? Be sure to check your spelling and grammar!
I hope the summer is full of fun, new adventures and relaxation. It's a great time to get started on the new MCBA list. With plenty of time to read, and the books in abundance at the public library, you 'll have a great start when we begin the program in November.
In a show of determination, Emma finished her final chapters today, to complete her 25th MCBA book. Congratulation on accomplishing your goal, Emma!
Izzy puzzled out the Potato Chip Puzzles to clench her place in the 25 Club. Congratultions on a job well done!
Congratulations to Piper, who polished off her 25th book over the weekend. Nice job!
Are you ready? Well here it comes!
Today's Battle of the Books final was as exciting as predicted. The score was extremely close, and spectators were holding their breath on each correct response. The level of detail that students retained on each book was amazing. In the end the 6th grade team of Sage, Izzy, Henry and Aidan held on for a sweet victory. This team has been together for three years and it's wonderful to see them finally reap the rewards of their hard work. Congratulations! They will face the Swift River team via Skype on March 3rd.
In a showdown against a feisty teacher team, the team of Sage, Maya, Evelyn and Trevor never lost their composure and persevered to a nail-biting victory. Congratulations!
They did not miss one question. Like a well-oiled machine, they were in synch as they produced correct answer after correct answer. No sweat from this team of smooth 6th graders.
The team of Rachel, Katie, Emma and Kale showed cool confidence as they won the Division A Battle of the Books semifinal on Monday. Their spirit and teamwork persevered, and they showed a masterful knowledge of the books. They move onto Thursday's Championship game. Congratulations!
