Happy New Year!
By now, you should have scheduled all of your classes for media center orientation. Your students are likely anxious to get their hands on a new book. Your thoughtful and meaningful planning of an orientation activity will set the tone for the exciting activities and programs from the media center for the school year. As always, if you need assistance with planning or delivery of an orientation lesson, please reach out to Jennifer or Bridget.
