HERE for MG's Favorite Websites Welcome to the Milne Grove Learning Resource Center! December, 2011 - January, 2012 New!!! LRC PHOTOS!!! Scroll down!!!!
Student Author Program!!!!! About 60 MG and KG students are currently writing and illustrating their very own books which will then be published courtesy of the D91 PTO! If your child is one of our aspiring writers, please remember that completed manuscripts, along with a signed order form (whether ordering additional copies of the book or not), are due back NO LATER THAN JANUARY 16TH!!! If you have any questions or problems, or need blank replacement pages over the King Holiday weekend, please check your email for my home phone number.
Please
be aware of your child’s Library Day and remind him or her to bring all books
back on time!! It helps to keep library books either in the child’s backpack,
or in a safe but obvious location in the house. If a book ever gets damaged, or
WET, please be sure to let me know. Wet books take weeks to dry thoroughly! In November we spent some time exploring OPAC, our automated cataloging system and learned about the organization of the library. We also read many great books about Thanksgiving and other topics being covered in class. In December we will cover holiday stories and lots more, and will begin reading our Monarch Award nominees.
LRC Photos and Fun Decorating the tree! I had several great assistants spend a lunch hour trimming the Library's fabulous rotating tree. They did a great job!
Gingerbread! Miss Sander's class won the Class Competition for Most Participants in November's Family Reading Night and they were rewarded with a Gingerbread Decorating Party.
Can you spot yours??
On behalf of the students
and staff of Milne Grove, I thank the D91 PTO and all their great volunteers for
putting on such a great Book Fair and donating the proceeds, in the form of
books, to the D91 Libraries. With budget cuts, this generous donation is even
more appreciated by us all! Our PTO has also made several other very generous
donations to our LRC this year. They provided us with two DVD/VCR players to
replace broken-down ones, 8 Ipevo Document Reader cameras for classroom use, an
annual subscription to www.morestarfall.com,
money for a new Treasure Chest and prizes, books from Scholastic and more! Please remember to
support the PTO with your time! I don't know where we'd be without them!
Book Buddies & MG Home Run Contest - We will run these programs again in the spring!
If
your child does not already have a card for the public library, stop in at the
Lockport Library and get her one! All you need is a driver’s license (or photo
ID) and one other item showing your current address. You may even fill out and
print the form ahead of time by going to www.dpvlib.org
. Take a look at the Children's Department web page, http://www.dpvlib.org/Kids , for info on activities and programs offered to residents for FREE!
