The 6th
grade has taken the Trivia Contest by storm! Such enthusiasm! And now the other grades are finding this
contest. Currently 63 students have submitted at least one correctly answered
question for a prize. And that number grows every day. Several students are
coming close to answering all 60 questions. With 2 weeks left in October – and the
contest – I will have to set aside a few special prizes for anyone who could
finish all 60. And now in additional to the witch’s cauldron, there are now
also prizes kept in a coffin.
Next week the
IMC will start scheduling for the Try to Scare a Librarian Read-Aloud. Your
challenge is to pick a story and read it to a librarian during the week of
Halloween. Each reader will have 5 minutes to try to scare us. You can choose a
short story, a folktale, or a book chapter. If you have a good scary idea, come
to the IMC next week and sign up for a time before school or at study.
