Book Fair Week!

This past week was our first book fair. What a great way to kick off a great year of reading. Everyone was excited about the new titles added to their personal collection. Thank you to all who supported the media center through the book fair! We will be using the proceeds to continue to improve the media center, add to our collection, and sponsor an author visit later in the school year. Happy reading!!!

Book Fair this week!!

What better way to kick off a year of great reading than with a book fair? Today was a very successful start to our book fair. We had a new class visiting every 15 minutes!! The students and teachers loved seeing the great titles and adding to their personal libraries. We will be open Tuesday night during curriculum night from 5 -6 for parents! See you then!

Great Orientation Weeks

For the last week and a half we have met with almost every class to share with them the new features and procedures in the media center. The best new feature is our ACTIVBoard! We talked about how to care for the board and for our books. Students also learned how to use place markers to ensure that our bookshelves stay in order. These new features were great, but I believe everyone liked learning how to check in their own books the best. They learned how to scan their books, listen for "Woo-Hoo", and place their books on the correct shelf of the cart based on their call numbers. What a great start to a great year!

Education is different for our children than it was for us because the world will be so incredibly different for them. View this video to learn some astonishing facts that are effecting the way we educate our children.

Getting Ready!

A lot of things are happening in the media center. We are getting ready for a new addition - an ACTIVBoard!! What an awesome learning tool. This tool will allow us to bring our lessons to life. Great times are just waiting to happen. There are few more changes, but I don't want to spoil the surpise! Can't wait to see you all in August.
