IT'S BEEN A BUSY START TO THE SCHOOL YEAR IN THE MEDIA CENTER!!

Welcome back! This year has been a busy one in the P.S. 87 Media Center so far. We began by honoring the 54 children who participated in the Summer Reading Program. They each received a Certificate of Participation and a brand new book, as well as, had some great snacks and made a craft. Great job everyone!!!
The Book Fair was next. It was a big success with our sales reaching over $4,000. I hope you all are enjoying the wonderful books you bought. I am thinking of starting a book club for all of the children who bought SCHOOL OF FEAR. Anyone interested should blog back and let me know.
Our new book order for the 2010-2011 school year has arrived early this year. We were able to order over 300 new books, both fiction and nonfiction. Most of you have had the chance to preview the books and even got to check them out of the library. It is so wonderful to see everyone so excited to "get their hands on" the new books.
IT IS BATTLE TIME AGAIN!!!! Teams have already been chosen for this year's Battle of the Books. We have almost 100% participation in all of the fourth and fifth classes this year. We are just waiting for more of the books to arrive so everyone can begin reading. In the mean time, please start logging your minutes on the log sheets you received from me. You need to read 600 minutes by the middle of February to receive a special prize for your participation. NO LOG= NO SPECIAL PRIZE !!!!!!! It only takes reading for 10 minutes each day until February to reach the total 600 minutes. Please have your parents initial your paper each time you log in.
Please feel free to blog back and respond to any of the things that have been posted. The more people who blog, the more interesting it will be.
