DECEMBER 2010 NEWS


December has been a busy month at the Florence Meares Library. Read and Relax is well underway and students have been escaping the cold on Fridays during 2nd Break on Fridays. Our Battle of the Books teams have started training for our spring competitions. A huge thank you to Ms. Hammill and Ms. Porter who make Battle of the Books happen at Florence Meares. Our Grade 4 students from Ms. Markuci, Ms. Ghai, and Ms. Decker-Such's classes have been enjoying creating video Book Trailers about a variety of pictures books. Stay tuned to the F.M. Library website for their completed videos.

A huge thank you goes out to our December Birthday Book Club participants: Eric D., Grace W., Jack W., Andrew M., Victoria H., Raiya., Dylan R., Jacob M., Alex M., Katie S., Liam M., Marvin J., Ellie R., Martin P., and Elizabeth M.. Belated Birthday Book Club thanks go out to: Jamie W. (Sept. birthday), Sydney W. (Oct. birthday), Hannah W. (Nov. birthday), Skylar G. (November birthday), and Ben M. (November birthday). Your continued support of the Birthday Book Club program allows us to purchase many new books for our school Library!

You'll notice a new menu link our school and library websites called "Homework Help". Information for online Mathematics homework help, available to Grade 7 to 10 students, is provided, as well as, information about our very own "FMS Homework Help" conference on CHATT. Thank you to Jordan W. who is providing student leadership to this initiative. If you have any questions please send me an email.

Finally, I wish everyone a fun, happy and safe holiday season. Be sure to sign out a book for over the holidays. We'll see you in 2011!!
