It's September already!! The media center is constantly gaining new titles. This month, I have added over 100 titles!! Some of those 100 books have already been checked out by our 8th graders that read DAILY.
This year we will have a Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl team. The team will consist of ten members. All are welcome to attend an interest meeting on Wednesday, September 19, 2012. All competition information will be distributed at this time. Transportation home WILL NOT be provided.
Hats Off to Mr. Antwon Willis for his collaborative efforts. We are working together to teach Common Core standards and NETS (National Educational Technology Standards). Our collaboration will result in his sixth grade students being able to access, locate, and evaluate information. Check back in to read my next post to see a sample product from Mr. Willis' students.

August 2012 Media Center Updates
Greetings Students,
I hope everyone had a restful summer. We are back in stride in the media center. I have a new assistant in the media center and she is wonderful. Ms. Hogue comes from Maynard Jackson High School. She has worked as a media paraprofessional for more than 20 years. She is very knowledgeable and a pleasant addition to the media center.
It is my hope that you are ready to read! Book checkout has begun and new titles await you in the media center. Please make sure you visit the media center to check out these new titles. The 25 Book Challenge is back and information will be distributed by September 14, 2012.
I have exciting news for this school year. Bunche Middle School will have a Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl team. If you are interested in participating, please see me by 9/10/12. There is a list of titles that you MUST read in order to be a member of the team.
Keep Reading!!
