Mountain Meadow Media Center Schedule

In case you are wondering when your child's books are due back!  They have two weeks until they are due.

Responsibilities As Digital and Print Citizens

This week all of our Mountain Meadow Media classes worked on learning and exemplifying good digital and print citizenship.  The classes are learning how to explore and access our resources in our media center.  The Trillium and Huckleberry classes will be making their own illustrations to our own version of the "Shelf Elf" explaining their understanding of library etiquette.

The Clarkia are experts on finding different types of genres throughout our library.  They started their typing classes this week and have learned the importance of proper typing posture and the importance of the home row keys.  I hear many comments of, "This is fun!  Can I do this at home?  Can I do this in aftercare?"  The answer is yes!  Typing.com will save all their hard work and keep challenging them to become better typists.

Exploring Shelf Elf Rules

The Alders and Cedars have been working hard at researching, taking notes, and learning how to be diligent and safe digital citizens.   They are working on creating posters for our Media Center that clearly lay out ways to be safe in cyberspace.  I am excited to see what they will come up with.

Your student should come home with a letter  this week from the Media Center.   The letter gives details to our check-out policies, internet use, and other important information.  Please check your child's backpack.  Our 3-8th grade students need to have their internet agreement forms turned in as quickly as possible so they can start their computer usage.

We have been learning the importance of being a responsible print and digital citizen, how to respect our space, and what good book care looks like.  In Trillium and Huckleberry classes we read our favorite "Shelf Elf" book by Jackie Mims Hopkins.   Skoob, the shelf elf has been dancing around our shelves looking for things to smile about and possibly be sad about if there is improper book care.

The Clarkia have read, "The Library Dragon" by Carmen Deedy and reviewed all the book care and library citizenship guidelines.  They completed their review with a fun scavenger hunt.  They are anxious to get started on their typing skills and we hope to start next week.  There will be a letter coming home next week about typing.com and your student's username and password.




The Alders and Cedars  have been exploring what digital citizenship is and will be working on a research project.  They will be designing posters to place in our Media Center that explains the importance of the responsibilities we have in our digital world.

Please come visit our Media Center.  We would love to see you.
