Bookbeast Success!

I am so proud of the students who completed their 200 nights of Bookbeast reading! I love your love of reading and the dedication and responsibility of recording on and bringing in your sheets. Yay! You all received Treasure Chest prizes for each 50, 100, 150 and 200 nights and then a special magnetic bookmark for completing them all. There are now books in the Nelson Library and Ms. Watt’s library dedicated to your awesome work! Way to go!!
~ if you were absent the last week of school, your final prize and dedication will happen during the 1st week back in September ~

I hope everyone has signed up for Burnaby Public Library’s Summer Reading program Journey Through Time!

Author Visit!

The primary students of Nelson were so very lucky to have authors Megan Williams and Madison Reaveley visit and read us their books, Don’t Call the Office and I Don’t Want To! in our gymnasium last Wednesday. They shared with us how they write their stories and also answered many of our questions. Division 8 was extra lucky to have them visit our classroom afterwards and help us with wonderful ideas on how to make our Friday Journal letter homes the best they can be! Thank you Megan and Madi!! Click HERE to see pictures and HERE to order a copy of one of their fabulous books!!
