Guest Post by Mrs. CarsonThe Bowman Book Swap is back, and this time we’re pairing the event with an ice cream social! Do your children have books that they've outgrown and are ready to pass on? Are you constantly in search of new books for your children to read? If so, participate in the Bowman Book Swap! Here's how it works: • Bring books to class THIS WEEK (April 25th–29th) and receive vouchers to be used at the Book Swap. • Receive 1 voucher for each book donated, up to a maximum of 10 vouchers. (Each student can donate a maximum of 20 books, but only 10 vouchers will be issued. Extra books will provide choice, be donated to classrooms, or saved for future books swaps.) Vouchers will be sent home in envelopes on Monday, May 2nd. • Bring your vouchers to the Book Swap on May 5th and redeem them for “new” books to take home. • Meet up with friends and eat a cup of Rancatore’s ice cream before or after you swap! ($1 per cup) Books must be appropriate for grades K–8 (no baby or board books) and be in gently used condition (no tears or missing pages). We are especially in need of middle school books for our graduating 5th graders. Books will not be accepted after the collection week, and vouchers will not be issued during the event. Want to help out? We still need volunteers to help sort books next week and to help with set up and clean up during the event. Volunteers will be given priority access to the Book Swap and receive a free ice cream! To volunteer, visit the Sign Up Genius link: http://bit.ly/BookSwap_IceCreamSocial Questions?

Thank you so much Bowman PTO for planning and arranging to have the New England Brass Ensemble performance. The quartet is amazing and the students enjoyed it immensely. Please take a look below to see a student blog post about the event and a short video of the concert. New England Brass Ensmble Kid Blog by Nicole & MichWe liked the New England Brass Ensemble it was funny, the musicians seemed very enthusiastic about playing their instrument, and it wasn't hard to understand. An example of when we thought it was funny was when the Walter the trombone player kept repeating, "JAY! JAY! JAY!" We laughed really hard and Nicole almost choked because Walter sounded like a little kid and we've never seen an adult act like that! Another example of when it was funny was...

Awesome Concert by Deniz and HaykOne reason why I thought the concert was fun was because it was REALLY funny! Especially the trombone guy. One example was when they were all making up ways how to play the brass instruments. Almost everyone kept laughing. I personally thought it was really funny how they were using the other instrument families to make up ways to play the brass instruments. Another reason why I thought the concert was fun and exciting was... To see the rest of the blog post, please login to Kid Blog and check out it out. Please leave your thoughts and comments. Funny Brass by Steven & RafiI think the concert was very well organized because it was funny, informative, well performed, and creative. It was really funny, for several reason. Every time Jay tried to talk, someone interrupted him. Like when Jay was trying to explain how brass instruments worked, Walt was like " Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay!" Another time the concert was funny was when Walt kept bragging about himself. Another funny part was... To see the rest of the blog post, please login to Kid Blog and check out it out.

Students were given limited direction and guidance in order to write a fairy tale. At each table group, students wrote only one sentence for their story. They then passed it on for the next student to contribute to the piece. Take a look at the imaginative pieces that were created by the Brufftopians.
Challenge 4As students have spent this past week of the Library Appreciation Week doing odd challenges such as selfies with the librarian, searching for banned books, and getting a library card, we have taken the next leap. Students have had a chance to find comfy spots to read in the library. Check it out... Challenge 3As the students have completed 2 days of Library Challenges, the students have done the unthinkable. They've taken selfies with the librarians. As you can see below, the librarians who posed for pictures did so willingly and smiled! Getting to know the people who have an inside track with books is the best way to get the best books. Thank you so much librarians for your patience and candor! Challenge 2 of National Library WeekAs the students have been totally engaged in their appreciation for National Library Week, many students are showing off their library cards. Now they can check out books, take advantage of library passes and other resources available to them. Can you see the excitement? Brufftopians have jumped into the idea of learning more about their library. After all, it is National Library Week. Many students dived into the Library Week Challenge and went into the into Cary Memorial Library to search the shelves for former banned and challenged books. Take a look at the pics below of students and the banned books they've found and recovered for reading in the future. The joy the students had while moving about the shelves is clearly shown. Maybe we should do more things like this... |
