Another successful library day! Just a little late to celebrate Valentine’s Day! This old lady loves to read the Old Lady books! The dollar tree hat painted last minute was a huge plus, who doesn’t love a good prop?
After the read aloud, there were many requests to wear the old lady’s hat!
Love these Mermaid Mia’s library days!

Former First Lady, Barbara Bush, was an incredible supporter of literacy. The George and Barbara Bush Foundation supports family literacy programs with amazing resources! Free books through the family support to read on line!
AI is cool and all, but without strong reading skills that lead to critical thinking skills, we are stuck! You need to be able to know when AI has it wrong as it often does!
Develop those skills!!!

Today was the first meeting of my Zoom Book Club with 8th graders... We are reading "I am Malala". We meet every Monday at 7:30, read for 30 mins then have quick discussion. When we finish the book, we are going to celebrate with lunch at Olive Garden!! I had 9 girls tonight (2 even brought their moms!).
I supplied the books to borrow and even sent extra home to share with their moms!
HUGE success!!! I am excited to read and discuss this amazing book!
This Mermaid's heart is full!!!!

Have you ever heard of a Book Fairy? Book Fairies are the most generous of all the fairies!!
Mermaid Wishes to Learn is looking for Book Fairies to help purchase new books to be shared in our lending library. Plans are being made to launch the summer reading program, "Flip Flop into Summer".
We are always scouting for book deals, and with your support we can increase the size of the lending library to meet the needs of our readers.
Think of it as buying a cup of coffee for a friend! No amount is too small and you can be an automatic monthly donor for the amount of your choosing or a one time donation. All donations are treasured and appreciated!
Please visit the attached link and support our program!!
Become a Book Fairy!!! Become a monthly sponsor and help put new and current books in the hands of hungry readers. Sponsorships allow us to regularly purchase books to increase the size of the lending library. A Book Fairy is the one who can bring magic to a child and their imagination! Book Fairies will receive a monthly...

Nothing says Winter Featival like 86° weather.
Mia the Reading Mermaid was invited for Story Time and what an amazing time! We had sensory bins - water beads, and snow— course they were filled with hidden shells!
I also had the opportunity to put a brand new book in the hands of 70 children!!!!
