Birthday Book Club

Good News!
I just received a LARGE shipment of new books on Friday. All of these books will go in Mrs. Erlenbachs red wagon for students to choose their birthday book club donation. She will be coming around next week to each class. Just so there is no confusion...

Birthday months that will choose books next week:
June
July
August
September
October

She will be putting a sticker with your name and birthday on the inside of the book. When you visit the library next week I will present your book to the entire class. Thank you again for your donation! For those of you who have not yet signed up there are more pamphlets down in the hallway on your way to the lunch room.

A quick preview of some of the titles:

Ripley's Believe It or Not!
My Weird School by Dan Gutman (The entire series)
Guinness Book of World Records 2008
Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett
Nixie's Song (4th book in the Spiderwick sereies)
Diary of a Fly by Doreen Cronin
Baseball Jokes and Riddles by Matt Christopher

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE! See you next week in the library.

My First Computer Lesson!

Hello, Hello,
I am so excited right now. Today I taught my first computer lesson. I began my day with Mr. Vernia's class. I sat down next to the students and proceeded to show them how to bookmark the Miramar Ranch Lookup Page. How great is that? Everyone was able to follow along with me. I am in awe and amazement at how the new media center is working so far. I am in love with it! I hope you are too!

As the day went on I noticed that the computers slowed down. This may be a problem throughout the week. I will be talking to the computer teachers to solve this. Next week I will be showing classes how to find books at the public library online. Thanks for the great response to the library and media center.

Changes, changes, changes!

Hello everyone!
The new and improved library is up and running. I am happy to announce that it was a smooth ride this past week. I asked every class if they liked the new set up and I got all positive responses. Those of you who had media time on Monday and Tuesday were unable to use the new doc cam with your computer lesson. Get ready... it is up and running. When you walk by the library take a look at the wall with the large white paper. Mrs. Hamang and Mrs. Bacon will be projecting your computer lessons up on that wall.

I really like how the classes are spending 25 minutes with me and 25 minutes with the computer teacher. This allows me to read aloud, help you find books, and have conversations with all of you.
Please do not hesitate to approach me with any suggestions. We are off to a great school year.

See you all next week,
Miss Maile
