Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a great summer. For me, it was too hot but I was still able to read a lot of great books, even I didn't sit on my patio as I planned. The IMC is back in full swing. This week 7th and 8th grade language arts classes came to the IMC for their first book checkout. Next Monday 6th grade comes for their first checkout. For each class I present a book talk of new or interesting, grade-appropriate books from the wide range of materials we have in the IMC. Then students have an opportunity to find and check out a book for their first book report.
Next week Monday, the IMC will also be open at study for student use. Starting next week Tuesday, the IMC will be open before school Tuesdays through Fridays for student use. Also next week 7th and 8th graders will come to the IMC computer lab for a review of using the I.P.A.C. (IMC online catalog) and using the Accelerated Reader software program.

The IMC is back in business!
