* As the library permission slips get returned (purple or pink sheets), please put them in my box.
* As you do DRAs, please turn in students' GRLs to me so that I can add it to their record in the Destiny database. Thanks!
*Olympic Games resources and activities for kids have been added to the library website on the students' page. It's a great way to tie in our school theme, Teamwork Makes the Dream Work, with current events!
*I have added some reading resources for you (teachers) on the library website on the teachers' page under the language arts link. The following were added:
Book Hive: From the Public Library of Charlotte, this site has great reviews of books plus students can add their favorite booklist.
Children's Literature Index: A search engine for books and web sites that have activities and teaching ideas for specific book titles.
Mighty Book: Students can listen to and read along to audio stories.
Mona Kerby's The Reading Corner: Book reviews for students, plus a search-by-genre feature!
Reading Rainbow: The official website to go along with the videos. Lots of reading activities and contests.
Story book Online: Students can write stories collaboratively online.
World of Reading: From the Ann Arbor District Library, this has links to authors, plus a feature where students can submit their own book reviews!
*Library Passes should be in your boxes this week
*Books for your units according to the Academic Learning Glass schedule will be pulled for you this week. Check out your grade level's colored bins behind the circulation desk!
*Finally, don't be a bench warmer left on the sidelines! If you send home a weekly newsletter to parents, make sure you send it to me as well so that I can add it to the virtual bookbag on our website! Also, if you have a class website or a class blog or other on-line newsletter, make sure I have the link so that I can add it to your name on the faculty page.
*Finally, thanks for a GREAT opening day and ...GO MUSTANGS!
