The Friendswood Public Library Summer
Reading Program begins Friday, May 30th. The Friendswood
Public Library also has many free activities for the students.
Mrs. Brisbay hopes to see you there.
Are you ready for a challenge?
Mrs. Brisbay is issuing a challenge
to all her returning students and the 4th graders entering Windsong
for the 2008-2009 school year. She is challenging you to read
100 stories between May 30, 2008 and May 15, 2009. Mrs. Brisbay
is challenging herself to do the same.
Here's what you do: Use this
database to record the stories you
have read. Record all needed information on the form. If your
book is a collection of short stories, record the title of the
collection and the title, the author and the number of pages
of the story. When you reach 100 stores find the total number
of pages read, staple your pages together then turn your record
into Mrs. Brisbay (make sure your name is on it). This program
is based on honesty! Happy Reading!
Coming Soon: Battle of the
Books
The Battle of the Books began in the
early 1930s as a radio program sponsored by the Chicago public
schools and the Carson Pirie Scott department store. In the 1970s,
Joanne Kelly, a former participant and school librian transformed
the program into a reading incentive program and schools have
been adapting it for their needs ever since.
A list of 40 top quality, age-appropriate
books has been selected. Students who are interested in participating
will read a selection of books from the attached list and take
a written quiz to qualify for Grade Level Teams. It is not necessary
to read all of the books on the list to qualify for a team. Teams
will compete against each other to become the Windsong Grade
Level Champs and represent our school in a final battle against
the Bales Grade Level Champs.
