Hour 1: Introductions

Welcome to the California Read-a-Thon: Hour 1
(9:00 to 10:00am)

It's just before 9:00am and I am alone in my library, but like to think that there are students/staff out there reading in their own special place or preparing to come to our library. Actually, that's not completely true.

As we begin this read-a-thon, do a post answering the questions below. When you are finished, come back here and add a comment below. Feel free to visit other participant's posts/blogs and we'll get to know a bit about each other. If you don't have a library blog, just leave your answers in a comment below.

• What is your name and role at the school?
• What is your school's name and where are you located?
• What level school is it and how many students do you have?
• What is your school's mascot?
• Tell us 3 things about your school. They can be obscure, fun, serious, or whatever!

At the beginning of Hour 2 I will post the next mini-challenge and the prize winner of this one.

Remember as well to post lists of books your students are reading, reviews written by your students, etc on your library blog. I will check each of your blogs each hour.
