Media Madness:
We've been having fun creating our "green" summer school newsletter....we've started the Media Madness website, rather than printing tons of paper newsletters. The Media Madness (aka MM) team has been taking pictures, conducting interviews, working on comic strips, writing book reviews, creating puzzles, blogging and posting surveys. The website has been a fun way for the MM team to learn new skills and communicate the fun stuff that is happening at summer school.
Book Corner:
In our Book Corner class we are having fun generating story ideas and writing stories! The group has been trying a variety of ways to come up with new story ideas. We created our own story dice, used ReadWriteThink's story cubes and Scholastic's Story Starters tool. There is lots and lots of creativity flowing in the library this summer!
