FROM THE LIBRARY
Sora Winter Break Challenge:
There is a special contest this break (see image of ornaments). Students need to find each thing/do each thing listed on an ornament through reading Sora’s ebooks. All they need is their Google log in to access them. If students email their filled out entry to Mrs. Ekstrom at ekstromr@apcsd.org by January 8th, they will be entered in a special drawing for a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card. Good lucky and happy winter reading!
Sora Ebooks:
AMS readers can check out Bookflix: it’s a great way to access ebooks on Sora any time! All these ebooks are available in unlimited copies. All students need to do is log in to Sora using their Google account! Remember, Sora is also a free app they can use on their phone. If you have questions, please ask Mrs. Ekstrom. ekstromr@apcsd.org
