Library time at YOSS!

What’s happening at the YOSS library? Glad you asked! We’ve been having an awesome year. Shortly before Pesach, our yearly new book order arrived….boxes and boxes overflowing with the latest novels, picture books, biographies…you name it! Actually, many of our boys DID name it, by recommending their favorite book, authors, and series.

Here’s what we’ve been reading over the past few weeks: as part of our library Shoah program, our fourth graders are reading about the legend of King Christian X of Denmark, who encouraged the Danish people, at great personal risk, to save their Jewish friends and neighbors (The Yellow Star by Carmen Agra Deedy). Our first and second graders have been honing their “friendship” skills by reading Enemy Pie (by Derek Munson), and Teammates, a story about Jackie Robinson (by Peter Golenbock).

And the library fun continues as the boys (and their teachers) work together to decide our weekly themes. Even some of the Mechina rebbeim join in! Whether your son is an accomplished reader, a soon-to-be avid reader, or a boy who loves “reading” the illustrations, there’s always a good time to be had in the YOSS library!
