We are now halfway through the school year. We had a great first semester here in the WMS library. We have added 164 books to our library since the first day of school. Many of these books are student requests or recommendations! It is fantastic when students take the time to recommend books to us for our library. Our most popular books for first semester included those in the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
Four quarter two, we had 49% of our students participate and reach the AR goal set by the district (10 points). This is a number our students need to improve on. We love to see students picking out and trying new books. While it is not a good idea to struggle through a book that is unengaging, we also have many students who are making a habit of only reading the first part of a book and then quitting just to quit. Please help us by encouraging your student to finish what he/she starts by finishing their library books.
We had 8 students earn over 100 AR points for quarter 2, and we are very proud of their hard work! You will see those students' names on the top of our homepage. Their names and points earned are featured in the library, and they earn a reward for going above and beyond. For quarter 2, the prize is a $5 gift certificate to Books on Broadway. They also will get to sign our Wall of Fame. Congratulations to those students!
