Library

 

The Book Fair has a great selection of books for all ages! Families will be able to shop together at the following times:

 

May 8: after morning drop off and after school

May 9: after morning drop off and after school

May 10: during Senior Saints Day

 

Students will visit the book fair as a class.  Classroom teachers will let you know when their class is scheduled to visit the fair.  You can also contribute to your child’s classroom library by purchasing a book from the teacher’s “wish list.”  Please send any money for book purchases in an envelope with your child’s name on it. 

 

Like we did last year, we are offering the eWallet payment option.  From home, you can put funds into an electronic wallet on the Book Fair page, and instead of sending cash in with your student, they are able to pay for their purchases with the eWallet funds.  Learn more by visiting our Fair Home Page here.  Some teachers have set up an eWallet for their classroom library as well, so if you want to purchase books for the classroom library and you can’t make it in to purchase them in person, you can contribute to that classes eWallet, and the teachers will purchase books off of their wish list.  Check with your child’s teacher to see if there is one set up for their classroom library.

 

We still need mission partners during the fair.  Most shifts are 2 hours long, and you can help with as many shifts as you would like.  Thanks for helping!!  We're using SignUp.com for our book fair sign up this year, so use this link to save your spot today.  The nursery will be available for select morning sessions, as indicated on the sign up.

Students have library once a week. This is their opportunity to learn about library resources and develop their library skills. Of course, they may check out something to read!  To access our online library catalog, click this link: Library Catalog  Every student can access the catalog from home and request books during the school year.  Students can also see the books they have checked out, and renew books from this site.  For a quick tutorial, click the link that says "Surpass Tutorial" at the right side of this page.

 

Kinders may check out one book each week from the library. Students in grades 1-5 are able to check out 2 materials on their library account, while Middle School students may check out 3 materials on their account.

 

Books can be checked out for up to two weeks. Please help your child remember to return books on time.

READING INCENTIVES-ALL SAINTSOPOLY!
The ReadnQuiz program is a supplement to the reading curriculum at All Saints School. Students in grades 3-8 can take quizzes for incentives. In addition to taking quizzes in their classrooms, students in grades 3-8 can take tests during the last 15 minutes of library time, or from home. Falcon's Nest also has a computer for quizzes.  Follow this link to take the tests. ReadnQuiz Site

Grades 1-2 can also turn in reading logs to earn their incentives. Be sure the books are at your child's reading level, so he or she can read the books independently.

 

Want to see if a book has a quiz? Check out ReadnQuiz Site

 

www.lexile.com is a good resource to find books at a student's Lexile reading level, which is provided after taking the MAP Reading test.  Please remember that a book in a student's Lexile reading level may have content that you would not like them to read, so please take care to select appropriate books from the level.

 

 

Students in grades 3-8 may read any 3 books that are nominated for this year's Maud Hart Lovelace Award within their corresponding division (grades 3-5 or grades 6-8), pass a ReadnQuiz quiz on these books, and vote for their favorite in the spring!  Once the winners are revealed (usually in May), we will have a reveal party, which includes pizza and other yummy treats. Check out he 2022-2023 winners and the 2023-2024 nominees at www.maudhartlovelace.org

 

Students in grades 4-8 can mark off the books they have read and tested on in the google doc here.  Students must log in with their allsts.net school email address, not a personal address.  3rd graders can mark off the books on a sheet which we have in the library.
