Six Flags Read to Succeed

 

Indian Knoll is participating in the Six Flags Read to Succeed program!  Students who complete six hours of recreational reading are eligible for a free admission ticket to Six Flags Over Georgia.  Record your reading on the sheet provided by classroom teachers in December.  The sheet must be signed by a parent.  Return to school on or before February 13.  All tickets will be distributed the last week of school.  Happy reading!

Thank You, Nick Bruel!

Author/illustrator Nick Bruel visited Indian Knoll on January 16!  Our students love his Bad Kitty books so much, they are almost always checked out. 

To prepare for his visit, students in kindergarten through fourth grade visited the media center for a Nick Bruel storytime.  We read Bob and Otto, Who Is Melvin Bubble, and Poor Puppy.
 
During his presentations, Mr. Bruel read his book Bad Kitty to the students.  Then he told students how his books start with a title and led them through a story writing activity starting with a title they generated and using their ideas.  Several of our students later brought me their drawings and stories, inspired from this activity.

Thank you to FoxTale Book Shoppe for coordinating Nick Bruel's visit to our school!
