I have a lot of news to share this month...Are you ready?!
Open Checkout- I will film the news at 8:10 each day. Therefore, open checkout will occur from 8:35-9:00 and any other time you sign up. Thank you for your flexibility!
WJPMS- We are still following the "Pledge" schedule. However, we are one week behind.Williams is presenting this week, next week J. Coleman, Tate, Bell, Martin, Morris, Adkins, and repeat!
It has been brought to my attention that several students have not been given the opportunity to present the news. Please create a master list of your students assigning them each a day and place a star next to the best reader in the group.
For example:
Monday: *Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman
Tuesday: * Flash, Hawk Girl, Aqua Man, and Captain America.
Please send this list to me so I will know who should report the more complicated parts of the news and who to expect each day. Thank you!
Play Aways- We have received 10 titles. Only teachers may check these out at this time. You can hook them up to your computer speakers so the entire group can listen to the story.
Book and CD Kits- At this time, I am only allowing first graders and teachers (any grade level) to check these out. The students seem to LOVE checking them out!
Million Minutes Book Club- Several reading logs have been turned in! We are now up to 453 minutes! Please send the logs to the library as soon as you receive them. I will add them up 1 time a week and change the board to reflect the additional minutes.
Pull Tabs- De'Nerra W. and Jayla B. accompanied me to the Ronald McDonald House to turn in our pull tabs. We had a total of 30 pounds to donate and received a lovely thank you note.
Add to our Timeline- Please take a minute to check out and add to our new timeline in the library. Unfortunately, students can not add their birthdays. (Yes, a student has already asked!) I would like it to reflect historical events and not personal celebrations!
Jones Paideia Website- Let me know if you would like anything added to our website. There are sections set aside for grade level resources. Students and families can check this out by going to www.jonespaideiaes.mnps.org. Also, check out our library catalog at www.youseemore.com/mnps- then select Jones ES from the school list. I recently added a message regarding the Million Minutes Book Club too!
DEA- Next week the library will be closed for the Discovery Education Assessment. I apologize for the inconvenience.
