The Media Minute
The Media Center is here to help!
New and Improved Book Rooms
We now have two book rooms that have an assortment of book sets to meet your classroom needs. The room to the left of the circulation desk features guided reading books sets and books/novels organized by grade levels. Many popular titles can be found and are great to use for indpendent reading contracts, literature circles or small group instruction. The room to the right of the circulation desk features nonfiction, books on tape/CD and other curriclum materals. Rocks, weather, habitats, forces, and simple machines are just a few of the featured topics. If you stop in please give Mrs. Forrester a hug or high-five because she organized both rooms so you can easily find what you need!
