A little Holday decorating at the Library!

Now that December's here it's seems like we are finally settling into a routing with Library Club... just in time for the holiday's and another vacation! This week we had almost 40 kids from all four grades come into the library to eat lunch and work on projects. 

kids got to pick from three choices: 

Series Signage had students designing posters to hang in our series section highlighting some of the great books we have to offer. Their artistry is pretty amazing and I especially love the posters that really reflect the books they are representing! 

Library Club Picks got the kids started on mini-reviews of books they love which will then be showcased all over the library. 

By far the favorite choice was the book tree! I was so impressed at how well everyone worked as a group to design and build the book tree. I gave them a few pointers (build big to little, keep thickness of books the same and put the spines facing out) and they were off an running. It was great to watch everyone come together, troubleshoot and get it built! My favorite part was watching the students find the perfect topper. I think their pick is awesome!

Stay tuned for updates on feature of the month and a glimpse at the great Series Signage these kids are creating!

And the Winner Is....

Well, the elections were a huge success with every student in the school getting a chance to come down and vote for President as well as for the new Lincoln Loot design.

For President: Winning with just over 93% of the vote...

Obama was in front all day so it was no surprise when we announced him as our winner!

Our other vote was for the very important Lincoln Loot design. Students had a chance to submit their designs and then the entire student body voted for which design they wanted to use.  Our winning design won with just about 60% of the vote!

Look out in the next few weeks as student can begin earning some loot by showing off their knowledge of the Lincoln Lifeskills!

Next week is Thanksgiving Break- I hope everyone has a great one and we'll see you back her after the holiday!
