HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY TO THE WIZARD OF OZ!!!!!

Did you know that long  before the movie, The Wizard of Oz, there was a book written by L. Frank Baum? This year, the book turns 75 years old. Happy Birthday!!! If you haven't read the original version of this story, I highly recommend that  you catch up on this great classic. There are so many wonderful characters in this story.  If you have read it, which one is your favorite?  The cowardly lion is my mine.  He reminds me of myself.  Sometimes I don't realize the courage that I have hidden inside of  me.  Don't be "afraid" to share your your favorite character here.

SEPTEMBER 2014

Welcome to the PS 87 Media Center Blog and the 2014-2015 School Year!!!!!  This Media Center  Blog  is a place where students, parents, teachers  and administrators,  who love reading and talking about  books, can visit. Here they can discuss their favorite books, new arrivals, award winning books and all of the new movies coming to the big screen based on classic children's stories. You are all invited to comment on a post to share your thoughts, ask questions, or discuss a children's book or movie. If you are shy,  you can just  read what others are talking about. Also, you can check in often to see what is going on  here in the Media Center. I am looking forward to hearing from all of you!!
