Book Club
Book Club students, please remember to bring the books you are reading for this term to the meetings. Be prepared to discuss the main characters and a problem you see developing in your book.
The book we have chosen to read as a group the third term (after Easter break) is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Please let me know if you need me to order a copy for you
Student Research
There is a lot of research happening in the Junior school right now. A tool to help with research that St Dominic´s provides for students is a data base of online information resources called Ebsco Host. This can be accessed on the internet from any location. While primarily geared for older students, both year 5 and year 6 students might find it useful especially for current event topics.

PTA Thank You.
Twelve new books in Portuguese have been purchased with money donated from the PTA International Day fundraiser. I know the students will enjoy this fun collection.
Thank You
New Books:
We are starting the process of ordering new books for the library. Decisions guiding this process include examining the existing collection, the Units of Inquiry needs, and interests of our students. Students are invited to be a part of this process by nominating books they would like to have at St. Dominic´s. If you have a book, an author, a series or even a type of literature, or a special topic in a non -fiction area, please let me know by filling out a suggestion card and placing it in the suggestion box in the library. The cards and box are on the circulation desk in the library. Please remember to include your name and class, in case I need to ask for more information about your suggestion.
