Welcome back for the 2011-2012 school year!
It's hard to believe that we have been in school for almost a month! At this point, all classes have received their media center orientation and all students are ready to check out books. Lately, students have been very busy taking STAR tests and checking out books on their level. For the past week, second grade students have come in for a Response to Literature lesson with media specialist, Mrs. Craven. Mrs. Craven read these students her favorite book, Saturdays and Teacakes by Lester Laminack led students in a discussion about how authors use their memories to write stories. Then, the students wrote about their own memories of special people and times in their lives. We all had a great time going down memory lane!! Soon, third grade students will be joining us for animal research lessons. I wonder how we can make this learning into a Media Festival project?? Let me know if you have a great idea!
