February 2019 Learning Commons Data
Palmer Middle School
February was a great month!
February was a short, but sweet, month as we enjoyed our Mid-Winter Break Feb. 18-22. Despite only having three weeks, we saw an increase in student checkouts of almost 250 items over February 2018! We also enjoyed several student events in the Learning Commons such as the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl breakfast, Read Across America Practice, and our Student Library Assistant Valentine Party. We also had many entries into our Blind Date with a Book promo. Students submitted book reviews and two winning students names were drawn to win a free book from our Scholastic Library as well as a $5.00 gift card to the book fair in March!

238 more than 2018!

Blind Date with a Book
Students "blindly" checked out books based on descriptions on the wrapping paper cover. After finishing the book, students who turned in a short review received heart suckers and an opportunity to win a free book and gift card to the Spring Book Fair.
We love our SLAs!
We hosted a Valentine's Breakfast for our awesome Student Library Assistants on Valentine's Day. Everyone brought a dish. Mrs. Woodham made these adorable cinnamon bun hearts for the students.
Students applied to participate to visit our feeder school, Chalker Elementary, to read to students for Read Across America Day. 32 students applied and began practicing during SUCCESS Block during the month of February. Students selected books from our vast Children's Book collection, prepared with partners, and practiced by reading aloud. More details and photos to come in our March data update.
