Student-Created Web Page

Flex 2 Library Apprentice kids are working on a library web page. They are using a free web design program from McGraw-Hill.



As with any group project, there are lively discussions about what is important to include, the importance of spelling and truthfulness, and the fact that sometimes you just need to be a bit silly.



Please take a look at their work from time to time. Praise what you like, and give us suggestions, too!

Work

On the computer I have been making songs with Nathaniel and Lindsey. It's funny hanging out with Nathaniel. We write about what we have done to the library We put pictures on the blog.

Amber

If you stepped into the GMS library two weeks ago, you would want to change it. Well, Amber wanted to decorate it too! She and her partners worked together to re-create three bulletin boards. One said "Read! Imagine! Create!" Another said, "Welcome to GMS library" right outside the library so everyone walkin' by could see it and check out a book. and the last one said,"Reading is Fun!" So she and her two friends worked together to make the library look cool and more put together and composed. Here's a message to all those readers out there, "Recommend Reading!"

An Opportunity from the Public Library

Our friends at the Greenfield Public Library asked me to spread the word:

GMS students are invited to sign up for the book-to-movie fantasy reading club. Sign up for The Golden Compass (a.k.a. Northern Lights) starts October 1. You'll get your own copy of this amazing book by Philip Pullman! Then you'll be invited to participate in a book discussion at the GPL on Monday, November 5th, and everyone gets to go to the movie opening night (12/7) at the Garden Theatre.

National Punctuation Day!

Today is National Punctuation Day! Celebrate by writing a well-crafted and accurately punctuated letter to a dear friend or relative, why don't you? Did you know that this national festival of the comma and semi colon has its own web site? If you go there, you may learn about many punctuation marks and their proper use. Hooray!

Speaking of Grants . . .

The GMS Library has applied for 2 grants: one, in partnership with teacher Suzanne Schropfer, is an Ezra Jack Keats Foundation mini-grant; the other is an American Library Association "We the People" Bookshelf. We won't know for several months whether we've been selected to receive them. We'll let you know!
