We are so excited to have Ms. Peggy back with us on the bookmobile this summer as our driver and helper extraordinaire! We are also proud to welcome Madison Finley!
Summer Literacy Camps started Monday, June 5. Students at each of our four first stops were extended a special invitation to attend Summer Literacy Camp. We meet from 10-11:30 and enjoy a book, which each student gets to take home to keep, fun literacy activities, a a nutritious school lunch and book shopping at the Badger Bookmobile. We are off to a great start! Kudos to these Beebe Readers (and their families) for making sure their skills don't slip during summer vacation!
In May, all students in grades K-4 were invited to tour the Badger Bookmobile with their classroom teacher. We appreciated the gracious welcome we received at Beebe Early Childhood! It was exciting to see the students get so excited as they entered the bookmobile, especially those who had never before been on board. We are looking forward to seeing these students this summer!
SHOUT OUT to Melissa Looney and to Samantha Sebourn (and her husband, Mitch) for volunteering to canvass neighborhoods to hang bookmobile door hangers! The door hangers were distributed in or near neighborhoods where the bookmobile will run summer routes. The complete schedule was posted on the back side of the door hanger. THANK YOU Ms. Looney and Ms. Sebourn for being literacy leaders in our school district. ALSO, thank you to Ms. LuLynn Richards for distributing bookmobile schedule flyers to businesses around town...THANKS for helping us get the word out to all of our patrons! We are so grateful to our friends and fellow educators in Delta Kappa Gamma. A grant, provided by Kappa State, afforded funds to purchase a ChromeBook, which we use on the bookmobile to track our usage statistics. This tool is useful as we chart patrons at each stop, book check out/in and the grade level of our patrons. The data we collect helps us to make future decisions about bookmobile routes and activities. Additionally, the members of DKG collected gently used books, throughout the school year, to re-stock the bookmobile. We are so thankful for collaborative community partnerships! THANKS members of DKG, Beta Beta Chapter...YOU are difference makers!
Ms. Stinnett joined us on the bookmobile on July 28. She taught each student to write their name in Japanese. She also taught them how to make origami hats. She helped several students find the "just right" book for them. THANK YOU, Ms. Stinnett, for being a Literacy Leader this summer! Please join us again!!!
We have been so fortunate, this summer, to have so many Beebe Literacy Leaders join us on the bookmobile! Here are two of the Literacy Leaders that helped out on July 5. Ms. Shirley and Ms. Shuttleworth read Charlie the Caterpillar and distributed gummy caterpillars...to the delight of ALL patrons. Two weeks later, our Floyd friends were STILL talking about this wonderful book!!! THANK YOU to these literacy leaders and to ALL of the extraordinary Beebe educators who volunteered some of their personal time this summer to invest in the literacy lives of our kids! Kudos to each of YOU!
Guess who traveled with us on the bookmobile this week???? Two surprise guests...PIDGEY and WEEDLE...they weren't even invited...but, I guess the bookmobile excitement is too much fun to miss!
On Thursday, July 7, we enjoyed some first time patrons...WELCOME and bring your friends! And...see below...we enjoyed visiting with our regular patrons!
