LIS Reads – LIS Lê: 2013-2014

How excited is your librarian about this blog post? Oooohhhh, about this excited:

LIS Reads – LIS Lê is Coming!!!!

It is my pleasure to announce that for the 2013-2014 school year, the LIS libraries will be coming together to bring you LIS Reads-LIS Lê. Ms. Katy and Ms. Kerrie-Anne have been working hard to select books and plan activities to bring the entire LIS community together for a year of reading! Check out the explanation in the letter we’re sending out to parents, teachers and students.

We will start on September 6th with a kick-off party to celebrate our whole school read for the month of September of Wonder by R.J. Palacio.  As this book is not appropriate for some of the youngest members of our community, we have also selected an alternate read for them: Oh No, George! by Chris Haughton.  For our community members who prefer to read em Português, the alternate read for September is Uma Questão de Cor by Ana Saldanha. In each month that follows, there are book options in English and Portuguese for the different levels and interests level of the school.  You can see the secondary selections below.

Thanks to the generosity of the LIS PTA, the libraries will have several copies of each book for our community members to borrow; however, if you are traveling over this June-August break, we hope you will pick up copies for yourself and your family.
