Read Across America will be Wednesday, March 2. Staff members will be invited to the media center to enjoy a Dr. Seuss cake and preview the new iPads in the Technology Literacy Cafe! Teachers will learn how to pull up eBooks through Safari to read and also see how documents can be saved and even printed. The five iPads will be used in small group settings to discuss technology and information literacy to answer such questions as, "Can all websites be trusted?" and "How do I check out an eBook?"
We're searching for a coffee beverage/latte machine to use in the cafe. Suggestions? Let me know!
Students (and staff) will be eligible for prizes from the Media Center Prize Box. Watch for specially marked bookmarks. Staff members who stop by to check out our cake and iPads will be entered into a drawing for special prizes just for them!

BTW, sixth graders will enjoy their traditional Dr. Seuss cake (in cupcake form this year) and we're working with our lunchroom manager, Mandy Stephens, to ask for cookies or cupcakes for each student during their lunch period. We have wonderful staff members who always work well together for our students! Happy Seuss Day!
