My Favorite Books
The QR code takes you to a Flipgrid where you/they can record a two minute video telling me about the book. Did you finish it? What was your favorite part? I tweeted this idea out and it took off! I hope to see lots of Flipgrids and see who likes my favorite books!
Please tell your students not to remove the yellow note from the book otherwise they cannot access the activity! I will introduce this next week when students return to school.
I love my library because...

All student books are due May 24th. All staff checkouts (including DVDs and DVD players will begin June 3 and end June 14th.

New Books Are In!

What is really cool about all of these Lightbox titles is they are unlimited checkouts so everyone can have the same book open at the same time. I encourage you to log into destiny.mpark.net and log in with your current credentials. Then click on Destiny Discover (left hand side of the screen). Scroll down until you see Lightbox Titles and choose the one you'd like to use. I'd love to know if you use any and what you think!
