Author Birthday Club

Well, our school year is in full swing. Monday, the first grade classes were able to check out one book each. This month, author birthday club begins. Every month, Tamara pulled the books for the authors and famous illustrators celebrating birthdays in September and placed them on the Author Birthday Club cart. Students in grades one through four are able to check out books from that special cart. When they complete their reading (each grade has a different amount to read) the kids turn their forms in at the library. Early in October, they will receive an invitation to attend the birthday celebration for the September authors. Kids can participate every month or just a few during the year. It is a great way for kids to continue practicing their reading skills and enjoy a good book at the same time. And, they get to see what famous author shares their birthday month!
