The end of 2012!

The 2011-2012 school year has ended at the West Hancock School. 
My HS library aide (Sybil) and I spent earlier May checking in Senior laptops as their final day was May 9th.  On May 10 & 11, Sybil and I went thru the rest of the laptops [grades 9-11] checking for damage and missing pieces.  Finally on May 22nd, grade 9-11 laptops were checked in. It sounds like it might have been a zoo, but the whole check-in process really lasted for about an hour and ran rather smoothly!
This past year really flew!  Here are a few highlights...
1. Mrs. Hildman's 4th Grade Class earned Library parties not once, but 2 times!  [The class returned their books 5 times in a row.]  This contest was open to Grades 1-4.
2. I participated in World Book Night in April where I distributed 20 free books at the JH Track Meet in Britt. Free books were given out in the United States, Ireland, England, and Germany. 
3. We celebrated Halloween in the elementary when I dressed up in a witch costume and read a Halloween story to each class.
4. We celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday on March 2nd with a Dr. Seuss story and I gave the students Dr. Seuss bookmarks.
5. Mrs. Shirley Olson worked with helping the Kindergarten students in remembering to bring back their books by awarding stickers.  After earning stickers, students made bookmarks.
6. Book bags were given to primary elementary students to use during the school year.
7. A Scholastic Book Fair was held in the Elementary Wing during Parent/Teacher Conferences.  Mrs. Olson hosted this book fair.

I hope you enjoyed the weekly updates on my blog page.  Don't forget to READ EVERY DAY!
