Media Center News
Apr 2017
What's been going on?
Here are some lessons I've had the opportunity to teach in the past couple of months.
I have also been assisting Fran in the lab with research projects for 2nd-4th grades.
K- Earthworms/Earth Day
1st- AR/Punctuation/Zoo Animals/Alligators vs. Crocodiles
2nd- AR/Poetry (4C's)/Comparing Stories/Realistic Fiction/Butterflies
3rd- Pourquoi Folk Tales
4th- Point of View
5th- Comparing Multiple Accounts
Other media center happenings include Dr. Seuss stories for all, book fair fun (thank you for all your support), and a special "feeling lucky?" clover hunt for St. Patrick's Day.
I am always up for creating lessons like these at other times throughout the year to help reinforce what you are teaching in your classrooms. I am also up for collaborating on projects and helping with longer term things. Just let me know!
