Media Updates - Week of December 7

Book Fair

Continue to talk about the Book Fair with your students and families. Please share the Mission Possible Book Fair 2020 website in your communications this week - bit.ly/UnderwoodBookFair2020. Also, consider showing the Book Fair intro video to your class ...this will help to build excitement.  Students will need to create an account with their families in order to browse or shop. 

It's not too late to create a wish list! For detailed information on creating your teacher wish list, participating in Moonlight Reading, and other fun activities - Mission Possible Book Fair 2020 Staff Info. 

Let's keep Moonlight Reading alive! All staff and students are invited to record themselves reading a favorite picture book or chapter from a book.   Moonlight Reading Flipgrid   A BIG shout out to Ms. McKenna for being the first person to record a read-a-loud!

We have settled into a routine with our new "curbside pick up" circulation procedures. Books reserved by Tuesdays at noon can be picked up on Thursdays from 8:00am to 4:00pm (virtual and remote students) or will be delivered on Thursdays (to at school students).

Everything Book Fair!

Our Book Fair runs from Nov. 30 - Dec. 11. We are SO FORTUNATE to have Megan DeLong and her hardworking Book Fair team, who have creatively and thoughtfully planned a virtual book fair for our Underwood community. Like everything else this year, the format is new, but there are many of our traditions intertwined. As always, the goal of the Underwood Book Fair is to encourage the love of reading in our school family. 

Please share the Mission Possible Book Fair 2020 website with your students and families - bit.ly/UnderwoodBookFair2020.    There are fun activities that involve staff members, students, and families. (Hint....need something for your last week of electives? Check out the "Just for Fun" and "Moonlight Reading" activities.)
