Time Flies...

When you're having fun and this week went at rocket speed! Students have been coming in for book exchange and enjoying all the new books that the library has to offer. The good news is, there are many more new books to come. Most popular picks have been the graphic novels and books on Barack Obama(!). There are so many new, interesting projects that are getting started and I've been busy preparing for them. In the coming weeks, Mrs. Fleming's class will kick off a pilot program where they conduct Author Studies and then share their learning via podcasts! Mrs. Heslop's class will try out the hip, happening podcast technology when they produce Book Reviews of Eric Carle titles. Mrs. Seymour has been busy introducing students to blogs including this one and the votes are coming in on whether or not we should re-name Reading Central (the school library)- it looks like the majority of voters think we should rename it! Now we'll have to get to work to think up a new name.
I'm looking forward to Monday morning's Volunteer Orientation (at 9am in the Library - ALL ARE WELCOME). I am hopeful that we'll have lots of new volunteers to help get our work done in the library. Well that's it for now! Until next week which I'm guessing will fly by even faster...happy reading!
