library has a wonderful collection of books and materials. Whether you read
because you have to, or you read for pleasure, we hope that you will take
advantage of the resources that your library has to offer! We’re always happy
to help you in any way we can! You may come to the library during homeroom
as long as you have checked in with your teacher first. You can come any time
throughout the day as long as your organizer is signed and timed. On days we
are closed for IAI or TCAP testing, we will still be open in homeroom! We are
open for you from 7:15-3:00. There may be a reading class in here, so always
use a quiet voice. BOOK FAIR Fall We offer a Scholastic book fair in late fall each year. This is a jam packed
week of contests, games, and at least one author visit! Our fair typically
falls during late November or early December. The 2008 fair is scheduled for
December 1-5. SPRING We offer a Barnes and Noble book fair in late spring. This fair is held
in the Barnes and Noble store on Contact Patty Shannon or Kim Murphy to inquire about helping with
either the fall or spring book fair. WARRIOR
READERS BOOK CLUB Students can volunteer to be a part of this program. Students read and
write book reviews for the books nominated for the Volunteer State Book Award
and vote for the category for Middle/ High School. Students meet once a month
in the library with Mrs. Anderson to discuss the books. Meetings are held
during lunch time. Students who read the required number of books and complete book
reviews will be honored at the academic awards at the end of the school year.

COUNTS Reading
Counts is computerized testing for reading comprehension. Students read a
book and take a ten question test on the computer. Books are labeled for
Reading Counts according to what is appropriate for a particular grade level.
Books are considered for reading level and content. Most books are labeled
“red” meaning that they are for all grade levels; however there are some
books that require specific designation for a certain grade level.
Regardless, each grade level is presented with a wide variety of excellent
books. Grade
level reading lists can be found on our sharepoint
webpage. 6th grade
