Cook, Lowrance, and Paisley students all made trips to their school Book Fairs this week. Book Fairs are great opportunities for every student to discover new and exciting books that help them foster a love of literature. Happy reading, everyone!

We are very grateful to Bookmarks and author Leslie Vedder for choosing Cook Literacy Model school as one of the schools to launch her new middle grades book, The Labyrinth of Souls. Ms. Vedder presented to students about the process of becoming an author and the qualifications (or lackthereof) required to publish your writing. Every participating 4th-5th grader got a free, signed copy of the book, courtesy of Bookmarks!
During 4th and 5th grade library specials, students read the book "Blizzard" by John Rocco, then used the engineering design process to build a snow plow attachment for a Sphero robot. The challenge was to create a plow that could clear all the "snow" (aka the cotton balls) off the road in three minutes or less. Great job, scholars!
