Thanks to Mrs. Junod and Mrs. Comfort for their volunteer help. Mrs. Corder used her original RIF Christmas poem to promote the first distribution. A Petunia video about reading and a story about Abraham Lincoln and his love of books were used for the January and February distributions. It is thrilling each year to see eager students choosing their books and immediately beginning to read them. This year, for the first time ever, we were fortunate enough to have a fourth distribution.
Computer skills are always an integral part of media center activity.
CD Rom and internet research, word processing, database, and computer graphic skills are being integrated into various projects being accomplished by teachers and students. Mrs. Corder did a unit on cyberculture with the fouth grades. It included computer ethics, copyright responsibility, and computers in society and the workplace. The yearbook arrived early and was given out April 12. The NC Children's Book Award books were introduced, read, and discussed.
