Don't worry! A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile, bibliophilist, or a philobiblist, or, more informally, a bookworm.
This week I am in the WH district Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Tuesday I will meet with K-Jass and 2-Tangeman. On Wednesday I will meet with K-Geelan and 2-Glawe. To continue our celebration of Dr. Seuss, I will be reading Hooray, for Diffendoofer Day! to the Kindergartners. The 2nd graders will "Find Four in the Media Center" by reviewing how to locate books in the LMC. On Thursday I will be in Kanawha at the MS.
Next week I will be at WH on Monday and Friday. On Monday I will have classes with 1st and 4th grades. On Friday I will be at WHMS.
One of the favorite format of books popular among K-12 students is the graphic novel. A graphic novel is like a comic book, a book in which the story is not told, but illustrated. The term "graphic novel" dates back to as early as 1976, but has become very popular in the 2000's. Many of the book characters were based on anime characters from cartoons or comic book heroes. Early graphic novels, "manga" were printed in Japan and were read from back to front. Now graphic novels are printed world-wide and widely accepted by libraries. One recent popular graphic novel is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. For more info on the graphic novel check out www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_novel.
Until next time, keep reading!
