New Podcast & New Books

We just received a new shipment of books in the media center.  This was a small shipment, but there’s more to come.  Listen to my podcast to hear about some of the titles we received.   Just click on the link, scroll down to the bottom of the Barrow Media Center webpage, and click “play” on our Gcast podcast.  Enjoy!

Are You Up for the Challenge?

 

In this week’s purple folders at Barrow, students will receive a sheet for a reading challenge over spring break.  We are challenging students, teachers, and even parents to read 300 minutes during spring break.  Time starts on Friday March 6 and runs through Sunday March 15.  Students, teachers, and parents who bring back completed sheets on March 16th, 17th, or 18th will receive a star on our walk of fame in the media center.  The walk of fame is part of this year’s book fair theme, Lights!  Camera!  Read!  Students who complete the challenge will be entered into a drawing to receive a $10 book fair gift certificate.  We hope everyone will take the challenge.  Let’s see how much we can read over spring break!  Don’t forget to stop by and check out some books before the break.
