Summer Reading

Summer is almost here! We are pleased to announce the Fulton County School’s Summer Reading Lists. Please find the list at this link http://www.fultonmeti.org/summer-reading-list.html


A PDF is also available at the link. A committee of media and educational technology instructors from all levels, elementary, middle and high school worked to compile the summer reading list. The summer reading committee selected titles based on their appeal to students. The goal of the summer reading list is to provide students with a wide variety of books to enjoy during the summer months. Students may wish to read works from other level lists as appropriate. It is our hopes that the summer reading list will encourage students to make reading an essential part of summer vacation.

The Buy One, Get One Free Scholastic Book Fair is Here

Students are preparing for summer reading by getting a supply of books at our spring book fair!



April is Poetry Month

Mrs. Bernstein's 4th graders are using PicCollage on the iPads to write Acrostic poetry.

The students used dictionaries and thesauruses to help them with vocabulary choices.

This is an example of a final product.

March 2014 Statistics

 
 

Spring has finally sprung! We had about 1,600 students visit the media center independently during March. The circulation statistics show that 3904 items were checked during the month!

March - in the media center

Recently in the media center . . .
Fourth graders have reviewed reference materials and used Photo Story to help them with the review.

First graders in Ms. Cantlebary's class are displaying their projects. They are also creating a story with the iPads to share information about their work.

Kindergarten students are using the Story Creator app to take digital pictures and create a story. Their story reviews what happens in the media center.

February 2014 Statistics




Because of some more inclement weather, students only attended school for 15 days in February. Thirty classes met with Mrs. King for instruction, approximately 1450 students visited the media center independently, and almost 3000 items were checked out. Students also received the books that they had created from Student Treasures, Black History Month was celebrated, and everyone enjoyed a mid-winter break that included Winter Olympics.
