It's hard to believe that November is here already! One of my favorite books is In November by author Cynthia Rylant and illustrator Jill Kastner. [Harcourt, c2000] It is full of beautiful illustrations of the colors of autumn and musings about this month of the year. Read a few of the book's excerpts....
"In November, the trees are standing all sticks and bones. Without their leaves, how lovely they are, spreading their arms like dancers. They know it is time to be still."
" They travel very far on a special November day just to share a meal with one another and to give thanks for their many blessings - for the food on the tables and the babies in their arms."
"In November, at winter's gate, the stars are brittle. The sun is a sometime friend. And the world has tucked her children in, with a kiss on their heads, till spring."
November is also the month we celebrate our service men and women. [Nov. 11] Thank a sailor. Thank a soldier. Thank a Marine. THANK A VETERAN! We really should celebrate our military heroes every day of the year!
This week I will meet with the first grades and 4-Hildman on Tuesday and K-Jass and 2-Tangeman on Thursday. No books will be checked out.
Don't forget to attend the Book Fairs being held in the elementary and middle school library media centers during Parent-Teacher Conferences this week. [Tuesday and Thursday, 4:00-7:45pm] The profits from your purchase is used to buy books for these 2 libraries. Thank you!
Next week I will meet with K-Geelan and 2-Glawe on Tuesday and -Zuehl on Thursday.
Until then,
Mrs. Reiter
K-12 Teacher Librarian
