We LOVE February!
It is an exciting month in the NPES Learning Commons! February 1 is our Kindergarten 100th day of school celebration - do you think we can read 100 books in 100 minutes??? We will try!
February 1 is also National Bubble Gum Day. Students can purchase bubble gum to chew during recess for 50 cents. All proceeds will go towards Relay for Life! Read more about Bubble Gum Day here: http://www.bubblegumday.com/Bubble_Gum_Day/Bubble_Gum_Day.html
February 3 at 3pm is the Let's Read with the Lady Gamecocks Literacy Game - free tickets were awarded to students who participated in the Let's Read with the Lady Gamecocks reading program during Winter Break! Our highest overall reader will be announced soon!
February 6 is Digital Learning Day! We have a lot going on in the Learning Commons that day! The SC State Library will be here to share their Technology Petting Zoo; the Lexington County Public Library will be here to show you how to download eBooks to your personal device; and your Learning Commons team will be here to show you how to download eBooks from our Learning Commons to your personal device! Students and teachers are encouraged to BYOD (bring your own device!) Read more about DLD here: http://www.digitallearningday.org/splash
We look forward to a great month in the Learning Commons!
Let us know what we can do to help you!
