Scaredy Squirrel visits the Blair Library

Last fall, all the primary classes enjoyed reading the Scaredy Squirrel books by Canadian author Melanie Watt. The students created and produced a movie about Scaredy Squirrel visiting the Blair Library. The students came up with the storyline, acted it out, created the sets, props and special effects. This week, all the classes have been watching it. Some of the new students have exclaimed, "That looks just like this library!" ;) Click HERE to watch the video if the image below doesn't work for you.

This week was the first week students have been able to choose books to check out and take home and this little video was a great reminder of the vast collection and variety of books we are fortunate enough to have at Blair. Thanks to the Blair PAC for their continued support of the library program at Blair.

welcome back to the Blair Library!

Welcome back to the Blair Library!
We are getting things up and organized. Students have been getting their library cards ready and the primary classes have been enjoying listening to the fun books about Pete the Cat. Pete is an easy going cat and doesn't let little things bother him...he often says, "it's all good!" which is a good thing for all of us to remember!

The books are really fun and we sing along as we read them. The songs and videos, as well as other activities are available HERE (click on the link).

I'd also like to introduce you to our new Library Fish. We will be taking a school-wide vote next week to give our fish a name. The children come in to the library early in the morning hoping to be the first in, which means they get to feed the fish!

This year I am at Blair on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the library is open before school on those days unless I am in a meeting. Looking forward to seeing you in the library...we have lots of new books coming in!
