EXCITING HAPPENINGS


Today was our first Computer Games Day of the year. Students had the opportunity to come to the IMC at study to play CD-ROM games already preloaded on the IMC computers. Students who participated today had a good time enjoying our wide variety of gaming choices. Computer Games Day at Study will reoccur every Friday from now on.

On Halloween I will be visiting the 6th grade LA/Reading classes with a special Halloween treat. I will present one of the stories from Patrick Carman's book 3:15 Things That Go Bump in the Night. Each story starts with an audio introduction online. Then I read the story. Finally the story ends with an online video conclusion. Three ways to enjoy the story, 15 minutes total for the whole story = 3:15!

Next Friday Miss Trefonas's fifth grade advanced reading class will begin regular visits to the Lakeview IMC. In this first visit they will learn how the Lakeview IMC handles book checkout, listen to a book talk about some of my favorite books, and make their selections for checkout. I look forward to greeting these new and future users of the IMC.
