 As grade 5 learners are inquiring into peace and conflict and inspirational humans, we welcomed Shelly Pollock, co-author of award winning picture book, Lion Lights. This inspirational book has received four different children’s book awards including the 2023 Children’s Africana Book Award (CABA), the Outstanding Science Trade Book for 2022, California Eureka Silver Honoree 2022, and the 2022 Blueberry Award! Mrs. Pollock shares the incredible story of Richard Turer, a Kenyan Maasai who grew up trying to protect his family's cattle from the lions. Through hard work and perseverance, he designed and discovered a peaceful solution of flashing lights to scare the lions away without hurting them and protecting the cattle. As Shelly shared her writing journey she was able to encourage grade fives to take action and find sustainable solutions.   Our Grade 6 students enjoyed a trip to Book Café this week where they had the opportunity to sample several different “tasting dishes” from a wide range of book genres. Mr. Vernijo and Ms. Terry were dressed up as wait staff and took orders and delivered dishes to the patrons. We are happy to say that many liked what they tried so much they took the items “to-go!”
Sometimes, when a young person says they don’t like to read, it is because they have not had enough exposure to books of different genres (adventure, fantasy, true survival, sports non-fiction, to name a few) and in different formats (audio, print, digital, graphic novels). By giving students more choice in what they are reading, and by putting outstanding books in their hands, they have a better chance to grow into life-long readers.
