Our first week was great! Last week I welcomed Kindergarten, grades 2, 3, and 5 to the MC with an Intro. class. I introduced many concepts to them:
- "Give me 5" method to get and keep students' attention
- MC tour
- Book check - outs and returns
- Proper care of books
- Review of patron catalog and Mackinvia (5th grade only)
- Shelf markers
- "The 5 finger rule" for selecting a "just right " book
The week ended with a very spirited Pep Rally, introducing the school's four houses: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Classrooms have been divided up into these four houses; each house can be awarded points by staff members for good behavior. Points will be calculated and posted each Friday. The banners holding the house numbers are located across from the Cafeteria
This second week of school will be an exciting time. I love teaching Digital Literacy. Second grade will be learning about Powerful Passwords, Kindergarten will be learning about Going Places Safely online. Grades 1 and 4 will be coming into the MC for a Welcome/Intro lesson.
