Library News - ALL student and parent library booksare due by Friday, May 18th! Please help us get all those books in so we can be ready for Summer Library!
Clayton Summer Library - Summer library opens Wednesday, June 6th, ffrom 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Wednesday in June, closed week of July 4th, and open the last threeWednesdays in July! All summer library books are due by August 1st so we can get ready for the next school year! Summer Library entrance is the doors by the Kindergarten Playground. Patrons, including children, may check out up to 5 books at a time during the summer! Mrs. Tuttle is encouraging all Cardinals to set a reading goal for the summer that : 1. Involves reading... of course! 2. Is FUN!! Students may continue to take AR tests during the summer and if they have an AR passport from the school year may bring it in and keep putting stickers in it as they read. However, it is important to note that once the students are moved up to the next grade level and put in their new teacher's class, all AR points go back down to ZERO. So, Mrs. Tuttle is talking about "AR strategies!" Students may plan to read in the summer and then wait until the first of school next year to take the AR test on it! Planning ahead is a life skill! Forms for summer library will go home next week, or can be downloaded here. If you don't have a chance to fill out the form ahead of time, you can do it when you come to summer library! Thanks so much, and KEEP READING!!!
