It's Almost Over!

...The summer that is! Just a few more days before we return to school. I've been busy cleaning up the library, putting all our new books out on display, prepping lessons and working on getting my new web page and this blog up and running with lots of helpful information! I've also been working on welcoming new families and recruiting new volunteers for the library. Volunteers keep the library chugging along day-to-day!
Check out the Library Web Page and come back and visit my blog each week to see what's going on the Memorial Library!

Just Round The Corner

Welcome to my new (first ever actually) blog for Reading Central, the school library at Manchester Memorial School! On this blog, I will provide Memorial students, parents and faculty the opportunity to learn what's new at the library and what Memorial students are busy reading and researching about. I will also be posting my own current reads (see My Favorite Summer Reads below) and sharing activities that take place in our library.

Each grade level will be conducting research in the library this year. There will also be some new things going on - for example, I've added an entire section of graphic novels to the collection for the first time ever here at Memorial, I'll also be working with our new Technology Teacher, Mrs. Seymour, to bring technology and information literacy together. We'll be trying out podcasting, blogging and may be including wikis to some of our curriculum-focused projects!

Your comments and suggestions are very welcome here so please feel free to post to this blog (that's when you click on "Add Post" and type in your own thoughts so anyone who views this blog can read them.) And be sure to check back regularly so you know what's going on here at Reading Central!

Enjoy the rest your summer...and Happy Reading!

- Ms. S
