The libraries across BC are promoting D.E.A.R. today which is short for Drop Everything and Read. We will be taking 15 minutes today to D.E.A.R. We have also decorated our door for the D.E.A.R. library contest. Last week we read a book called Uno's Garden and the students decorated the door to represent this book. The top of the door is all forest and animals. Eventually, the forest becomes a city without plants and animals. The middle section of our door is representative of the city. The bottom portion of the door is a balance between city and nature. This is the main message in the book. The students loved this book! Please come and check out our beautiful door if you get a chance. We will leave it up for the next week.

Have a great day,

Mrs. Galloway
