I think this is a good idea for people to win stuff and eat apples I love apples. I think you should have more games like this and congrats to the person who won she is really lucky…!!!!

I agree, apples are just really good, and the games, i personally love boardgames, copitition, and just good old reading. More games close to the ones weve been having would be awesome, By the way ms.Baca i have been thinking and maybe having like a month long competion for who can write the best book, or long story. I think that would b fun, and challenging.

I’m glad everyone enjoyed the games we played for Teen Read Week! We have a lot of games in the library for check-out. I will consider getting some more if you could provide me with the games you would like us to have.
Cody- the idea of a story writing contest sounds great! We could pick our favorites and I know of a website where we could turn them into hardcover books. Then we could add them to our library book collection. Let me look at my long range lesson plans and see when we could do this.
