End of the Year

One last entry for this year… Thank you to everyone for all of your support.

The library was able to get more feedback this year than ever! Your surveys were extremely helpful and will be tallied and analyzed in the upcoming weeks.

Remember to check for updates on the main LMC page this summer about Summer Reading.

Also remember, just because its summer doesn’t mean it’s a break from reading. Your librarians at the public library are expecting you; I put in a good word for you myself. So let’s continue to feed our brains so they don’t turn to mush over the next 2 months.

I wish you many adventures in reading… until we meet again in September…

Miss Soroko :)

Library Survey

It’s nearing the end of the school year and I am asking for EVERYONE’s help!

Teachers- I need your input on policies and procedures this year, technology at hand, and the collection at large. You received your library survey on Friday. Please stop by the LMC sometime this week to drop off your filled out surveys. There is a drop box labeled “Faculty” on the counter outside Miss Soroko’s office.

Students- I need your help! I want to know what books you love, and what types of books you would like to see more of. Tell me who your favorite authors and illustrators are, and tell me why. If you are interested in helping Miss Soroko out for next year, come to the LMC and take a yellow survey and a pencil. When you are finished, drop the survey in the “Students” drop box at the circulation desk.

I hope to hear from everyone!

Let’s make our library even better…

New Software Update

This reminder goes out to all students and staff of Cherry Tree Elementary School

We now have the updated version of World Book Kids 2009 in the Library Media Center.

This is a fabulous research database tool and companion to our written encyclopedia collection. This version is laid out differently than the previous World Book 2004 version and has some different applications as well.

Make sure to stop by the LMC if you have some free time to check it out.

We now have thousands of new topics to search through and hundreds of new pictures.

This is a resource definitely worth your time.
Miss Soroko gives it an A+

On your mark…get set…GO!

It’s that time of year again. The Reading Olympics for Cherry Tree Elementary have begun. All class statistics are displayed in the LMC. Come visit near the non-fiction section to check out the scores each day. All teams must also report to the LMC to get their team photo taken.

Photographs and scores will be updated daily on the official scoreboard.

Students- Make sure to submit all your reading logs to your teacher each day in the morning

Best of luck to all!

New Bean Bag Chairs

The Cherry Tree Library Media Center is proud to announce the addition of our new bean bag chairs! This week we got our shipment of 5 assorted colors. They can be found in the reading nook section of the LMC. If you’re small enough to share with a buddy make sure to do that. If not, make sure you share the amount of time you spend. Remember- we want to keep these chairs for as long as we can so let’s take care of them. Think about how many imaginations can soar and how many stories can be read in the chairs.

We want to thank the PTA for all their help and support in getting us these chairs. To all students- come sign the card for the PTA thanking them for the bean bag chairs. Write your thoughts and a picture if you like. We will leave the card out for the rest of this week and then send it out. Don’t miss your chance to sign!Remember books can take you anywhere…
