Library Volunteers Needed!

Our fabulous librarian Mrs. Roberts is looking for volunteer parents / family members to help her in the library shelving books. If anyone has time during the day or knows another parent at Nelson who might like to help out, please let myself or Mrs. Roberts know! Even 1/2 an hour helps a lot!! Any amount of time is helpful & would be very much appreciated by Mrs. Roberts.
Thanks so much! Mrs. James 🙂

I Want To Fly ~ starring Yi!

Yi & her family made a video that was created as part of the Burnaby Digital Storytelling Project. I think is very important for everyone to take a few minutes to watch this inspiring video.
Yi’s mom, Ada’s, digital story is inspired by her experience as an immigrant to Canada. Like many immigrants, she wanted to give her daughter a better life. The themes seen here were inspired by Yi, who has always wanted to fly & who loves birds. Ada chose to make all of the sound & drawings with Yi.
In Ada’s words, the story is “special, a work of both of us.”

Well done Yi!! You & your mom did a beautiful job & you should feel very proud!
After watching the video grade 3s, do you have any connections to Yi’s experience?

Library Success! YAY!!

What an exciting day in the library & a wonderful way to start off the new year!! In a show of awesome reading & responsibility, all students in Division 3 returned their Bookbeast 50 nights sheet & all their library books! Yay!!!

Keep up the reading & recording each night Grade 3s & don’t forget your library books next Wednesday morning! Let’s keep our own pillar in the library by adding stars by the end of January!!

Before that happens, Grade 3s (& parents if you’d like!) share below what your favourite book was to read over the holidays. Or, if you’d like, do you have a favourite Christmas story you enjoy reading each year as a tradition?
Why is it your favourite?

I look forward to reading all about these wonderful books!!
