IMC update

Last night we had a very successful and amazing literacy night with bestselling author, Kate Klise! She visited our school to do a writer's workshop with our students and parents. It was a free event thanks to our awesome PTO! Students learned about the writing process to write their own best seller and many had a chance to share their stories. We even heard one of Kate's stories, Grammy Lamby and the Secret Handshake. Kate had books to purchase and autographed them all and took many pictures with our library learners. Such a fun night! Thank you to everyone that came out!

Coming up this week in the IMC:
3rd: Will go on a book hunt with the iPads. We've been talking about location in the library and where our materials are found. This activity will reinforce location. They will work in teams and hunt for books in different sections of the library. 

4th: We will continue with our genre unit. We already studied realistic and science fiction. This week we will learn about the elements that make a book historical fiction. 

5th: We will continue with our Dewey Decimal unit. We will finish up our Dewey Hunt and make a word cloud to describe the section of the nonfiction collection using tagul.com.
