Jigsaw Puzzles

Being inspired by Bob Graham’s latest book “Jigsaw: A Puzzle in the Post” I am looking for a few puzzles that the students can work on during Library Club. If anyone has an age-appropriate puzzle (age 5-12) that they are happy to donate; please send into Administration. Thanks.

Here is the story if you would like to watch it. Jigsaw: A Puzzle in the Post.

Story Box Library

Just a reminder to parents and new families that we have a subscription to Story Box Library. There is a link to the website below, or you can download the app. I encourage you to try it out.

Audiobooks

If your child isn’t into reading, or if they haven’t found the genre that they love yet, get them listening to audio books. Also known as ear-reading, it’s a great way for our students to explore and develop a love of story. I use the app BorrowBox which is free through the Local Community Library-Myli.
