This
has been the busiest week in the IMC so far this year. The computers
were in use everyday and nearly every period. Almost every Reading
class come in for book checkout. I have done book talks on
Accelerated Reader fiction books, Biographies and autobiographies,
and themes for Romeo and Juliet.
The 6th grade voted online through
the I.P.A.C. for the 2013 Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Book Award.
By the way, the winner here at Lakeview was Smile by Rayna
Telgemeier. Second place went to Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper,
and in third place was Dark Life by Kat Falls. I sent all of
Lakeview's results to the state committee for tabulation. By
mid-March we should hear which book is the official winner.
Next
week will be much calmer since the students are taking the ISAT
tests. Perhaps Mrs. Wilson and I will have time to work on new books
again.
