Black Cowboy Wild Horses: A True Story
by Julius Lester; Illustrations by Jerry Pinkney

We got a new book in the library and since it is Black History Month and we are working on the Black Wax Museum, I prepared a book talk on it. The artwork was beautiful, so I briefly told the story as we worked our way through the pictures.



The students loved the story which was action filled. I got an email the next week from one of the teachers telling me one of her students asked if he could come to the library to check it out!

We print and use this county produced brochure for parents.



=County Reading Incentive= Guilford County Schools is pushing reading and asking all students and classrooms and schools to help them reach the 2,000,000 goal. We ask teachers for the number of books read in class monthly to report totals. Since the beginning of semester two, so many books have been read that the superintendent increased the challenge to 3,000,000 books. media type="custom" key="12548614" align="center"
