MCES Media Minute
August 2018
Amazing August!
Our Book Fair was incredibly successful; our library made over $4,000 in Scholastic Bucks that we can redeem in books and other supplies for our media center. I cannot thank you all enough for your support and flexibility during that week- you helped make the Book Fair a success!
We celebrated the Book Fair with a raffle for our new books; students entered a contest to be the very first to check out our new books. Winners have been selected and have checked out the books, and they are hopefully enjoying them!
Students have come in for check out three times already! Our ELA teachers bring their classes in each week for a short read aloud, quick activity, and book check out. I have enjoyed getting to read and work with all of our students, and I am looking forward to an amazing year with all of them! Check out the pictures below to see what we have been up to.
I'm not quite sure how September will top the amazingness of this past month, but I'm excited to see what it will bring!
Explore, Create, and Make!
Teachers, two, red "Maker Passes" have been placed in your mailboxes. Use these to send students to the media center to work on the Maker Map challenges. Feel free to send the students during our school day (8:00am-3:00pm) when they have the time and have earned the opportunity! I am looking forward to seeing what the students create!
Google Goggles Expeditions!
I have a HUGE Google Sheet full of expedition options. I am more than happy to comb through it and help you plan and prepare for a virtual field trip with our Google Goggles. Please reach out if this is something you would like to try.
