Dear El Carmelo community,
This is my first post to Dragon Tales, a blog that I have begun in order to provide an informal communication with parents of students at El Carmelo School in Palo Alto. I have chosen this name partly thinking of the subject of this first post; the Dragon Library that I've begun. You may have noticed the books in the window of my office at school. You probably saw that they are all about dragons (although there is a lot a variation in content...including Math!). I am trying provide a wide range of reading levels within the collection, so there will be books that appeal to our kids K-5.
Your children are welcome to check these books out from me. I will be asking too if they will write a brief comment on the book they read (or that you have read to them). Some of those comments on what they enjoyed about the book may even find their way to this blog! If I do post comments, they will be identified only by initials.
So, please take advantage of the books your daughter or son likes. And if you have any suggestions of either dragon-themed books or of other themes your child is interested in, please let me know.
