The Kindergarten students are reading "Finding Winner" this week since they wouldn't have heard the story last year. This is a video with the author talking about the book:

Here's a video of the actual story as well

The Grade 1-4/5 students started the first of the 10 books today with Chris Hadfield's "The Darkest Dark". We watched him tell his own story on a CBC show called Bookaboo:

Chris Hadfield has also written a song to go with the book 

What are you afraid of?
The Kindergarten students will be listening to "The Darkest Dark" next week!

Have a book filled week!
