Rice Media Center
November/December Update
Rice Library System
Did you know Rice Library System is online? We provide students access to our Library Catalog to look up books they want to check out or even read eBooks online. Check out our online catalog system at books.tylerisd.org (Login: StudentID/Birthdate mmddyy)
The Media Center is encouraging students to participate in our Gingerbread House display. The first gingerbread man story appeared in 1875 published in an American children's magazine called St. Nicolas Magazine, since then there are many derivations.
The Gingerbread House display is fabulous! So excited seeing each creation come in!
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math (STEAM) Home Challenge
Our STEAM home challenge is intended to motivate students to develop an interest in STEAM and encourage students to unlock creative potential. The student must be able to describe the problem and how it is solved with their creation.
We will continue with a new S.T.E.A.M project in January after the Christmas Break!
Breakfast Book Club (3-5 Grade ONLY)
Breakfast Book Club!
I will notify Breakfast Book Club members of which book club session they will be in. Students will receive their book and a bookmark club pass. Students come to the library with their book & breakfast during our meeting dates.
Breakfast book club starts at 7:30 a.m. and students should have read their assigned portion of the book to remain in book club.
The next book club sign up will be sent out in January! Look for our next selection of children's literature to sign up and join us at the breakfast book club!
