Litchfield Middle School Library Media Center

I hope you all had a nice break, but it is time to get back with it! I was a little disappointed when I ran the AR report guys.
I am wondering if I am going to fill up a bus for Lake Winnie or not! There are 5 young ladies already aboard!
Make it a New Year’s resolution…..READ and READ some more!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my students and co-workers!! Have a safe happy holiday!!! And students, don’t hesitate to READ while you are at home.

Remember points are due December the 18th!! You have until 2:45 to get your points. The field trip is tentatively set for January 8th.
Don’t forget to buy your gift bags to support our library!!

Students keep checking here for a new place to go that is NOT blocked at school! I am in the process of working that out now. It may even replace this website. Come back often!!! 2 weeks left to get your 25 points this nine weeks. READ!!!!!!
Toodles!

We had our first AR field trip! Thanks to Tami Brooks at the GPL for letting us spend time in the Teen Zone and for the delicious snacks! Congratuations to Georwana Jefferson for being our TOP READER!! Way to go Georwana! Also, I had a couple of folks answer the trivia question in person.  The rule is to EMAIL me the answer!!

The new challenge for the 2nd Nine Weeks is to earn 25 AR points. If you are tempted to cheat….don’t! You will be eliminated from the field trip at the end of the nine weeks!

I am so amazed at the amount of reading going on at LMS! We have a 6th grader with over 100 points already!!!! We have classes that have collectively read over a million words already! Litchfield Eagles, you WOW me!! All I can say is GO AHEAD!!!!!

The other day I was eating lunch when the most beautiful sight came into view. I saw students READING in the lunch line!! They were not involved in shinanigans, they were reading. Remember that I told you the best way to stay out of trouble is to read every spare minute! Readers are Leaders!

Congrats to Kiari Kinnie for answering the trivia question! She won a Microsoft insulated mug. Check back for the new question coming SOON!

I am so proud of those  who are reading and taking quizzes! Remember, cheating is only hurting YOU! Don’t do it! Discourage others from doing that as well. Cheaters never win in the long run!

Remember the former student I used as an example. She learned how to def eat “messy” people and home referrals by reading when she finished her work, by reading in the lunch line, by reading after she ate her lunch. The more you read, the smarter you are! NO ONE can hold you down when you read! You are building vocabulary, which is the KEY to intelligence.

I will be posting pictures of students caught READING soon!!!

We’ve had our AR orientation now, and it is time for YOU to start reading! I heard some 7th graders talking today about being the class with the highest number of points. I guess that means you 6th and 8th graders better get with it!!!

Some things for you to remember:

1. Books are checked out for 2 weeks.

2. A fine of $.10 per day is assessed for each day the book is late.

3. Lost book fees must be paid ($10) in order to check out another book.

Your challenge is to get 15 points for the first nine weeks to qualify for a field trip to the Teen Zone at the Gadsden Public Library! Pizza! Drinks! Cookies! Wii! Games! Computers! FUN!!!!!

July is only a memory now. The countdown is on. My time is shorter than yours. All the teachers have to report back on August 6th. YOU don’t have to come back until the 10th!
