IMC RETURNS TO NORMAL BUSINESS

The fall MAPS testing is done. The fall benchmarking in AIMSweb reading is done. Now the IMC can return to its library business. With everything that was happening this past week, ELA classes from all three grades found time to come to the IMC and check out books. All but one of the 8th grade ELA classes also had the opportunity to try my new and improved scavenger hunt about IMC procedures. I haven't scored the papers yet so I don't know how well they did. Special thank-yous to Mrs. Boyer's 1st period ELA class for creating new questions (with answers) for me. Hopefully, very soon, 7th grade ELA classes will have their turn with the scavenger hunt. Next week 6th grade ELA classes will return
to the IMC for orientation so they will better understand how the Lakeview IMC works. If all goes well, they will have a map activity to help them learn their way around the IMC.


DON'T FORGET to return your summer paperbacks. Our racks are still pretty empty as we wait for the last summer checkout to come in. Return them next week and avoid having your librarians track you down and nag you!
