Thankful For So Much!
November 22, 2023
My Message to You!
My Thankful list is incredibly long! Having the privilege being your child's librarian and teacher is at the TOP!
There are many activities students can do over the short break. Students are invited to visit the library banner and have some Thanksgiving fun!! Any computer connected to the Internet that has the Chrome browser can reach the MES Library. Students will login to the Chrome browser with the FCPS username and password. Most students have the library banner bookmarked.
Students are beginning to place holds at the Middletown Branch Library. We are partnering with the library in many ways. The MES library has around 8K books, where as the FCPL system has over 800K items that students can check out. Students are using there Student Success Card to check out books. (User Name: Your child's student ID beginning with 119829. Example: 11982920051098, Password is last name with no uppercase letter)
I would be more than happy picking up books placed on hold by students. They just need to ask!
Students are currently participating in the November Reading Challenge, Grateful Read. Students are able to complete the challenge by reading 300 minutes. Check out the MES Reader Board, celebrating achievements and birthdays! Students completing the reading challenge will recieve an email to parents sharing the reading success, a personal certificate of achievement and coupons!
The MES / MPS Book Fair ended a few weeks ago with 75 orders placed and 397 books sold! Thank you for making this a most successful book fair at MES/MPS history! Each school raised more than $1000 each so many new wonderful books!!
Always in partnership with you,
Jeffrey (aka... Mr. Jeffrey)

What Will You Be Doing This Thanksgiving?
How to Use Beanstack!
Students use the Beanstack program to log reading minutes. Minutes can be logged two ways, on a computer or smart phone.
Here are two videos that I created that will supprt use of Beanstack on a computer and using the Beanstack Tracker App. Thank you in advance for installing the app on your phone and allowing your child to install on their phone, if he/she has one.
