I was so excited to be a part of a special presentation that was put on today in our school library for the Dixon Staff. Adrienne Gear, who is a well known Reading and Writing guru in the lower mainland came to share her wonderful tools with many of the teachers today. She had great ideas and practical lessons, that I am sure will start being used in classrooms soon.
On a different note, I am finding that some books are coming back into the library wet, ripped or just plain damaged. I will be talking to the students about book care and respect for the items they borrow from the library. Please encourage your kids to think about a safe place for books to stay while at home, and also make sure books are not stuffed into bags close to liquids.
Thank you for your help and support!
Ms. Borthwick
