It's A Jungle in There...
Monthly Happenings in the JGMES Media Center- December 2015
The Twelve Days of Reading!
That's right there are only 12 school days left in December and the media center is celebrating with the Twelve Days of Reading! Encourage your students to visit the media center every day to join in on the fun!
- Starting tomorrow morning (Friday Dec. 4) Maurice the Bookworm will be hidden somewhere different in the library every day! The first student to find him each day will receive a prize!
- Starting Monday (Dec. 7) I will e-mail a daily trivia question to the staff every morning. Please share it with your class and give students time to answer! Students can drop their answers off in the bucket outside the media center on their way to lunch/specials. At the end of the day I will pick one winner to receive a prize. There will be a new question each day until break!
- The homeroom with the MOST check-outs for December will receive a special reading time in the library!
Don't miss out on the celebration!
