Here are some lists of great books to get you started.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 16.799999237060547px;">These lists are compiled by teachers, librarians, and other experts in children's literature. They are to be taken as guides to interesting titles not as school endorsed must-read lists. Every child has different abilities and interest so please use these lists as starting point to help your child choose a book in which he or she can escape or learn something new. </span><br />

To celebrate Poetry Month, write your favorite original poem or a poem by your favorite poet and add it to our tree. (We've re-purposed our Book Week tree, in honor of Earth Day later this month.)<br />
<br />
Just ask the Lovely Library Ladies, for a "leaf" and add it to the tree.<br />
<br />

Voting for your favorite Red Dot book will take place March 5-12. Children in K1-Grade 1 will vote in the library during regular check out time. Just ask for the beans from the Library Ladies.<br />
<br />
Juniors will vote online either on the library iMacs or iPod Touches. More details about that coming soon.<br />
<br />
The Red Dot Award is a children's choice award where the lists of titles are chosen by a committee of teacher librarians in Singapore from recent children's literature (first published in English within the past four years), with the goal of offering a range of books from around the world. Students will vote for their favorite books in March.<br />
<br />
Here's the website for more information and to print posters.<br />

There's a new "black board" in the Round Room in the Primary School Library for students and teachers to add comments about particular topics. For now, the topic is Connecting the UWCSEA Profile with Book Characters. Our first focus is: <i style="text-align: center;">Name a book character who shows a </i><i style="text-align: center;">Commitment to Care.</i><br />
<i style="text-align: center;"><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="text-align: center;"><br /></i>
<i style="text-align: center;"><br /></i>
<span style="text-align: center;">I chose <i>Commitment to Care</i> because November 13 was <a href="http://www.randomactsofkindness.org/" target="_blank">World Kindness Day</a> (better late than never!) And really, every day should be Kindness Day. There's a display of books in the library as well. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Feel free to start the conversation with your classes when you are in the library. Ask the library staff for the chalk. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Click <a href="http://primaryeast.blogspot.sg/2013/11/lists-of-stories-to-teach.html" target="_blank">here for the blog post about lists of books</a> to go with the UWCSEA Profile as well as many other lists on Destiny, our library catalog. </span><br />

I've created lists of stories you might want to use to promote the UWC Profile with your classes on Destiny, our library catalog. Please help me add to these lists. Unfortunately, you cannot add to the lists directly on the library catalog. Please email any titles you have used and I will add them. <br />
<br />
Here's how to find the lists:<br />
<br />
1. Go to Primary Library catalog- <a href="http://catalog.uwcsea.edu.sg/" target="_blank">http://catalog.uwcsea.edu.sg/</a><br />
<br />
2. Click on Visual Search. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.scholastic.com/readeveryday/" target="_blank"><i>"Read every day. Lead a better life</i>."</a> is a Scholastic campaign to promote the importance and value of reading. The website provides book trailers, posters, and teacher resources. Scholastic has partnered up with some talented illustrators and celebrities to promote reading. There are PDFs of some beautiful posters by <i>Wimpy Kid</i> author, Jeff Kinney, Captain Underpants author, Dav Pilkey, Amulet author Kazu Kibuishi and many more for you to download and print. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the ideas that I really like is the Bookprint- a list of 5 books that have had an impact on a person's life. I'm not that keen on the use of celebrities but I really like the list. It was tough to come up with 5 books that children can relate to but here goes:</span><br />

<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4;"><b>June 3-7</b>: Classes are welcome to visit the library for story telling and reading but there will be no student check out. There will be an exhibit in the Round Room (the yellow room with the colorful carpet) called "Footprints of a Migrant" for classes to view.<a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3OEOOPOVRJIUEdJcU1YTE04QkU/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank"> Here's a link for more info and a Teacher's Guide</a>. </span></li>

<span style="line-height: 1.4;">We realize that you will still need books to continue running an academic program. However, (I won't name names but... :) some of you still have books that were checked out way back in September. Keep what you absolutely need but we would like the majority of books checked out to staff (and class libraries) returned by Friday</span><b style="line-height: 1.4;"> June 7</b><span style="line-height: 1.4;">. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br /></span>
Keep an eye out for National Library Books as well. We will send cover images out once we get the updated overdue list from the NLB.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
Student book deadline is <span style="line-height: 1.4;">Wednesday</span><b style="line-height: 1.4;"> June 5</b><span style="line-height: 1.4;">. Please add this date to any parent info that you are sending out. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">To reduce the amount of paper we use, overdue notices will be emailed to teachers and students in grades 3-5. Please remind students to check their email and perhaps forward the lists to parents for help in locating books. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
Please ask TAs and students to sort through your books<i> before </i>returning them to weed out your class library books, guided/independent readers, book sets, your personal books, etc. </span><br />

When you receive your overdue notices, please don't worry too much if there are books on the list that you haven't see in a while. We have tried to tidy up your lists so that resources from a long time ago are marked as lost. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The first class with all student books returned will receive some sort of sweet treat. </span></i></span><br />

Not sure what to read over the holiday? Here are some lists of great books to get you started.<br />
<br />
These lists are compiled by teachers, librarians, and other experts in children's literature. They are to be taken as guides to interesting titles not as school endorsed must-read lists. Every child has different abilities and interest so please use these lists as starting point to help your child a book in which he or she can escape. Enjoy!<br />

Thanks to Karl, we have many new resources to help you with ideas for your Morning Meetings. These new books are in the Blue Room in the Primary Library. Many are on display on the top of the bookshelves, so please stop by and have a look.<br />

Teachers often ask for book recommendations to read to their classes to help with social and emotional concerns. The end of the school tends to bring about friendship issues that may not have problems earlier in the year.<br />
<br />
Here are some links to resource lists on our library catalog that you might want to use in your Morning Meetings. Have a look and see if any of these titles might address your concerns.<br />

Unfortunately, situations arise when we need to help students with grief and loss. Sometimes, a great picture book can open the door to difficult conversations and help students realize that they are not alone.<br />
<br />
Here's a <a href="http://catalog.uwcsea.edu.sg/cataloging/servlet/presentbooklistform.do?listID=207656&site=102" target="_blank">link to a resource list called <i>Grief and Loss</i> on the library catalog</a> that includes books about loss of pets as well as grandparents. There are also books about the general concept of death. <br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">So many books, so many languages...story time in mother languages. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">Following another successful Mother Language Day, we'd like to establish a tradition of parents reading stories to native/fluent speakers in the Junior School during Book Week.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
We are looking for parent volunteers to share stories in mother languages. If you're interested, please bring your children's favourite picture book and novel to read to children in Grades 2-5 in the Primary Library at lunch time. This would be a half hour commitment on a day of your choice - 25 February–1 March, 11.45am-12.15pm.</div>
