It was a great week in the Media Center! Our Brain Building Day featured Digital Citizenship lessons for Kindergarten and Third grade. Nonfiction lessons are being taught in the classrooms all around school..... second, fourth, and fifth grades are learning to find nonfiction books using the Dewey Decimal system and the Destiny online catalog. Students can access their online media center/library accounts by logging using the Destiny app in our school Launchpad. We also had a visit from Happy Tails Pet Therapy animals; they visited Kindergarten and North Metro classes.
Thursday Folders: You will receive Family Tip sheets from Common Sense Media; this is a great way to learn about Digital Citizenship.
Birthday Book Club: Flyers will be going home in Thursday folders. For $15, parents can sponsor a commemorative book for their child in the Media Center. Here’s how it works: the student will choose a book from our Birthday Book selection; and gets a picture with the book, a letter from Ms. Lemons, a birthday pencil, and a nameplate inside the book. The student is the first to check it out; then the book is returned to the Media Center for others to enjoy for many years.
