New E-Books!!

Be sure to "checkout" our new e-books over Christmas break!!

Sutton received a grant to purchase e-books from the Capstone Press book company.  There are 35 new e-books on our e-book website.  We now have a total of 100 e-books that can be checked out at home or school on various electronic devices.  You will find both fiction and nonfiction AR books for various age groups and reading levels.  The reading voice can be turned off or on, depending upon your child's needs. These books are AR books; however, the AR test can only be taking at school.

To access the e-books, go to the websites section of the Sutton homepage and click on the "Capstone Press E-books" link.  A note is being sent home to give you the username and password to logon to the e-book site.

Thank You!!

The fall book fair was a big success!  I truly appreciate all of the parents, students, teachers, and volunteers who supported the book fair.  I will be purchasing new library materials with the proceeds. In order to support the new science standards, many of the books that will be purchased will be nonfiction for the science and technology sections of the library.  Thank you so much for your support!

Sutton Leaders are Dino-Mite Readers!!

Our Accelerated Reader Program has gotten off to a great start!  Many of the students have reached their quarterly goal, and have their pictures on the AR Wall of Fame!  Many other students are close to their quarterly goal, and should reach it soon.  The AR goals are as follows:

Grade	Quarterly Goals				Yearly Goal
	1st Quarter (Ends  Oct. 3)	2nd Quarter (Ends Dec. 19)	3rd Quarter (Ends Mar. 6)	4th Quarter (Ends May 18)
K	0	5	5	5	15
1st	12.5	12.5	12.5	12.5	50
2nd	20	20	20	15	75
3rd	20	20	20	15	75
4th	20	20	20	15	75

A letter, along with the AR program rules were sent home a few weeks ago to let you know about the AR program guidelines and awards, and how to sign up to view your student's AR account. You can also sign up to receive an e-mail from AR when your student completes an AR test.

Parents may sign up to check out library books from the Sutton library. You may check out seven books at a time.  Sutton's library books are marked with the AR levels, to help you in choosing books for your child.  Our parent checkout time is Monday through Friday mornings from 7:30-7:55 a.m.  I hope to see you soon!!
