On Monday, we celebrated the GRAND OPENING of our new library media center! Mrs. Steen has been hard at work cataloging books and creating a warm and inviting library. This great space is where our students will have their technology classes.
We opened our library in style! Of course we had to have a ribbon cutting. I decided to have a contest to see which student would have the actual honor of cutting the ribbon. I give clues and allowed students to guess my favorite book. With just two clues, one of our fourth graders correctly guessed "Charlotte's Web." I had a lot more clues ready to go, but the student was very good! I chose some of the younger students to be "ribbon holders" because I could tell they knew all about "Charlotte's Web." They just weren't first to answer.
A few of the girls had a little fun pretending they were Miss America!
After the official cutting of the ribbon, students were able to have a short tour of the library, knowing they would be back for classes - both library and technology - later in the week!
Throughout the week, students enjoyed library and technology classes. Mrs. Steen has created distinct teaching zones - allowing students spaces to relax with a good book or sit at a table for their technology lesson. Of course, the little ones have a comfy rug for time with the iPads or to listen to a good book! This great space is designed for every age of PCA North learners!
Thank you, Mrs. Steen! What a great opening week!
