Thanksgiving Reading!

The week of Thanksgiving break, the Isbell students were challenged to read 30 minutes a day the entire break! We had 150 students complete this task! Each student received a gift certificate to Jack in the Box for free milk shake. Yummy! They also will have their name proudly displayed in the library windows. Check out some of the pictures of the excited kiddos! 

Happy Veterans Day!

This week we have been learning about Veteran's day. We read The Wall by Eve Bunting and talked about the importance of Veteran's day. The students also go to create cards for the veterans, that I will be delivering the local VFW on Veteran's Day. Check out some of their sweet cards! 

Gobble up a good book!

Come to the Isbell Library and gobble up a good book! Be sure to check out our huge turkey display! 

Meet Mac!

Last Wednesday, we had the privilege of having Mac Barnett come out to Isbell. He spoke with our third, fourth and fifth graders. The kids absolutely loved him! He had them laughing the whole time and got them really interested in reading mysteries! Check out some of the pics below!

Pumpkin Time!

Last Thursday, we had our very first unit in the library for 2012-2013! It was a Kindergarten pumpkin unit and the kids had a blast! Here are some of the pictures that the kids drew in Doodlebuddy, check them out! 

The students read pumpkin stories, created their own life cycle of a pumpkin in Kidpspiration and many other pumpkin activities! If you want to check out the activities that they did you can visit the google site at: https://sites.google.com/site/kinderpumpkinunit/home
