On Friday we welcomed author Shawn Peters to Bement. The Unforgettable Loagan Foster has been one of the most popular MCBA books so far this year. Mr. Peters was informative, engaging, and entertaining as he shared his story and read from the book. Following his presentation to grades 4-6 and a book signing, he had lunch with a lucky group of students. It was a wonderful visit!
Congratulations to 6th grader Ben who became our first student Varsity Reader by completing 20 MCBA nominees.
He joins Ms. Gearhart (always our first Varsity Reader- she is amazing!) on the star board.
On Wednesday morning, the entire fourth, fifth, and sixth grade along with their teachers met in the Grace Bement Reading Room to officially launch this year's MCBA program @ Bement.
Watch the kick-off video to meet the nominees.
Oh, what a night it was! Stories in Action took place on Friday, March 1 from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. in the library. Students had the chance to meet service dogs and trainers from Fidelco, make slime, test their knowledge of the 25 nominated books with artifacts, weave a friendship bracelet,
appear in a Pizazz Talent Agency Variety Show, and solve the greatest art heist in history in a breakout room. Plus each cake, munch an ice cream sandwich and drink contaminated water (Thirst, IYKYK!)
Such a fun time, thanks to the hard work of our teacher and parent volunteers!
