February 29 - March 3

Well this week started off with leap day and a weekend that was sixty degrees, a snowy Tuesday, and chilly weather to end the week. Monday I had the opportunity to go to  Mrs. Honn's room and help guide her students in citations for their research project on Africa.  All students created a Noodle Tools account and they each completed two of their citations.  These same students will also be using Noodle Tools in their language arts class this week for a project linked with City of Ember.

Tuesday, I was reading Alabama Moon with a small group of students from Mrs. Somer's class.  We're a little over half-way through and the students are learning more about each of the main characters and their lives.  We're all looking forward to what happens next.

Wednesday and Thursday Mrs. Murphy was in the library working on a video project with her students and practicing their EspaƱol.

Thursday we were double booked, which is always fun.  While Mrs. Murphy's students were working on the desktops, Mrs. Horne's students brought in their Chromebooks where they finished up their research and then watched a tutorial on Thinglink and began their project.  The students all have different topics that relate to the book City of Ember, and wow, are they interesting topics.  The students worked hard to gather their information and will be ready to create their Thinglink project when they come back Monday after an extended weekend.

Next week is Teen Tech Week, so keep your eyes and ears out for some exciting announcements regarding activities in the library.
