For starters, we've added over 1600 books to the JMS library! We've doubled the number of books in Spanish and the graphic novels. We've added e-books! You can find the link on the JMS library webpage..the User name is "Johnston" and the password is "greyhounds."
The Johnston Name that Book team won 2nd at the preliminary and DISTRICT rounds! That's quite an accomplishment. This team of 6 students collectively read over 2 million (that's right MILLION) pages and over 327 books!! Stop by the Library and see the gorgeous trophy!!
Two of the media students, Steffannie and Zoe won the American Association of School Librarians' Video Contest with their 3 minute video entitled "Think, Create, Share & Grow the JMS Way!" It was so much fun to work with these students and to see their hard work rewarded. Because of them, we'll get to add more books to the library collection and the Media class gets another FLIP camera. Check out their video on SchoolTube or at this link: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/learning4life/involvement/studentvideo.cfm
Oh, I almost forgot! Three students won books for their participation in the Library Web page "Secret Sports" object contest. Congratulations to Cameron, Tasha, and Dominique!!
