I read the book called "The Night I Followed My Dog" by Nina Laden. The children made predictions about where the dog might be going. I suggested after reading the book that maybe they could write their own stories. Instead of a dog they could choose another pet, such as a cat, horse, cow or guinea pig to follow at night. This was a memorable book for me that brought laughter to the whole room. One student even thought he would like to move into the doghouse!
Make story-time fun at home. Happy Reading!

November Events
Eric Walters Presentation
It is my pleasure to be able to introduce an awarding winning Canadian author to our school. Eric Walters will be visiting St. Luke's on November 21st. He is an inspiring author of middle school/intermediate student books, has received many awards, and also founded a charity.
Thanks to our wonderful Parent Council, and specifically Mrs. Scott, who wrote and asked for a grant that we have been awarded, we are able to bring this literacy presentation to the school.
Eric will be talking to students about writing, his career as an author, and how he gets ideas for stories and characters. He will also be selling his books at the presentation, and accepting cheque donations for the Creation of Hope, an orphanage that Eric has founded and supports. This place of hope is in Kenya where beautiful children are given a home and hope for a better life.
Thank you parents of St. Luke's!
Scholastic Book Fair
Once again the "Scholastic Book Fair" is coming the week of November 25-29. It will be open Thursday, November 28 until 7:30 for parents and children to shop, which is also "Movie Night" at St. Luke's.
St. Luke's families have always supported the book fairs and it is truly appreciated. I know how much the students enjoy seeing all the new books and how the school library transforms into a store.
Thank you for shopping at St. Luke's Library!
