the Bikes for books reading event has kicked off!!
All Fourth and Fifth grade students have an opportunity to read books to win either a bike (4th grade) or a Kindle (5th grade)! Thanks to our Montana Freemasons for making this program a possibility. For every book read, students will fill out a slip to enter the drawing. The competition becomes pretty fierce and fun! |

STORY MAKER by carnegie library.org
Students had an opportunity to create their own stories using StoryMaker at www.carnegielibrary.org/storymaker/embed.cfm. They were so excited to write and illustrate stories! The site was great for both kids who were able to write their own stories; and for those younger students who created the story using the pictures provided.

Making reading a daily habit benefits your child's educational performance, increases vocabulary, and, most importantly, builds a love of reading that sparks limitless creativity and imagination. Enjoy these cold evenings curled up with a warm cup of cocoa and a good book!
