Mrs. Campbell is the author and illustrator of Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator published by Boyds Mill Press in 2008. I'll write more later and include more photos of the visit. It was a wonderful experience for all and sparked many interesting questions from the students.

Book Fair Safari Home Page
Our Fall Book Fair is coming up October 14th through 17th! We are going on a Book Fair Safari!
Check out the website for the book fair to preview books, create your own wish list, volunteer to help, and much, much more!
http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/sainttherese
All third through 6th grade students will be given a penny for every Reading Counts point they have earned through Friday, October 10th. For example, if a student has earned 35 Reading Counts points, the student will be given 35 cents off of anything that is bought at the book fair. 35 cents is enough to get a free pencil!

First Reader's Theater Club Meeting
On Thursday, September 25th, students in the St. Therese Reader's Theater Club gathered in the library for their first meeting of the year. We warmed up our brains by playing a game of "Zip" in which students pass a clap around a circle and practice teamwork and communication. Then, we warmed up our tongues with a few tongue twisters to help us practice enunciation. Not one person escaped without laughing!
The main attraction of the meeting, however, was to dive into a reader's theater script. We read a script by Judy Freeman based upon Lane Smith's John, Paul, George, and Ben. In the photo above, Brevin L. plays a young Thomas Jefferson who was known for his independence. All in attendance did an awesome job at our first attempt, and the group intends to read this script again at our next meeting and switch up parts.
