It's a Book!

Lately, we have spent a lot time in Media class discussing computers and learning how to use them for different purposes. Don't forget the other treasures that the Media Center has to offer. Watch this video and see what I mean.

Destiny and Diversity

Students in grades 2-4 have spent time practicing the library's catalog this week. The Destiny Library Catalog allows students to search for books by keywords, title and author. Even more exciting, students can access the catalog from home...all you need is a computer with an Internet connection and the school website. Just go to the Media Center page and look for the Destiny Library Catalog.

This week 1st graders have been learning about Disability Awareness month. The theme for this month is Disabilities. We read the book Moses Goes to School by Issac Millman.

We also explored Arthur's Sign Page on the PBS website. Students were able to type in their name and see how it would look in sign language. They did a great job logging onto the computers and navigating the school website. Practice is paying off!

Rules, Computers and Passwords

All grades have been learning about the importance of rules when in the library and when using the school computers. By the end of the week, all students will have logged on to the computers using their username & password. This can be challenging but has been great practice! Keep working on those passwords!
