Friday Games Days Return

After several false starts the IMC has resumed its Computer Games Days on Fridays during study. On Fridays students, individually or with a partner, are invited to play CD-ROM games provided by the IMC. This year we have expanded to all 30 computers in the IMC computer lab with new games like FIFA Soccer, NHL Hockey, Top Spin 2 (tennis), Wheel of Fortune, Jewel Labyrinth, 3 - I Spy games, and Mysteryville 2. We look forward to see lots of gamers in the IMC on Friday trying out these new games in 2011.

What a Week!

The P.T.O. Book Fair has come and gone in a flurry of purchases, many as holiday gifts. In my rough estimate of sales we double the amount of sales from last spring's Book Fair. Thank you to all who helped with the selling and setup and purchasing. The P.T.O. will the profits to enhance the student experience here at Lakeview.
Next week appears to be calmer. Mrs. Maass's 6th grade social studies classes will continue to work on their Greek mythology projects. Since some groups may need more time and other groups will be finishing up, Mrs. Maass reminded me that I had gathered a list of Ancient Greece websites and linked them to the Lakeview Library webpage. This sites have many interactive activities as well as information about Greek history and culture. To find this list students go to the Lakeview Library webpage and scroll down until they find the table for IMC Links. In the lower right corner is a link called Student Links. Double check to connect to the website where I keep folders of links for school projects. Open the Ancient Greece folder and have fun!
