October 2013: October was another exciting month in the media center. Over 4,050 items were circulated and almost 2,500 students visited the library during October.
During October, students in grades K – 5 began on various projects:
• Many of the classes are working on creating books. Most of our students in kindergarten and first grade are working on a handwritten and illustrated classroom book. Each student has one page for writing and one page for illustrating. Most of our students in grades 2 – 5 are working on a book that is computer based. The link to access the student’s work is on the Media Center Home Page. The student should have his user name and password if you would like to view his work.
• Several 3rd and 4th grade classes are creating Powerpoint presentations on their areas of study.
• Several 2nd grade classes used iPads and digital cameras to take pictures of their dioramas displayed in the media center. They each recorded one sentence about their book. The individual pages were made into an electronic classroom book.
• Classes from in grades 2, 3, and 4 worked on Tagxedo projects. Tagxedo takes words and creates word clouds. The students did an excellent job with their word clouds!
• The month ended with Book Character Month! It is a great way to celebrate our love for reading!
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming November 18 - 22! We hope to see you there!
