Hello Sockeye families,
Happy New Year! Two quick things from your Sockeye library:
There will be guest teacher next week for all library classes.
I will be out next week as I serve the conclusion of my term as a member of the 2021 Newbery Selection Committee. I am one of 15 librarians across the US (and the only K-5 librarian) serving on the Newbery Committee, and I thank you for your understanding of my absence. You may have heard of or seen books with the Newbery medal, as it’s the highest award given in children’s literature for distinguished writing. For those wondering, our award winners will be announced January 25 and will stream live online.
ALL library classes will happen the same as always! Your student will log into library Zoom as usual and the substitute will be there!
February’s library book request form is ready! https://forms.gle/8Godz8qKnpQ4Qirm6
You or your child may complete the form for book requests in by Monday, January 18!
Books will be ready for pick-up Feb 3&4, 2021
I love being part of Sunset’s community, teaching & inspiring your reader every week.
With thanks and appreciation,
Ms Arika
