Welcome Back!

Welcome back to all students, staff and families!  Here at the Meadowview Intermediate Library Media Center (LMC), we are excited to start our new school year.   Mrs. Teresa Anderson has joined us as the new LMC secretary; she will be working here most mornings. 

We have a few other changes that will be happening as the year goes on.  iPad access to the catalog and eBooks are two of the biggest changes.  Students will learn that there is, indeed, an app for that!  We will also be working hard to gear instruction to the classroom curriculum.  Our goal is to help students make those connections between what goes on in the classroom and the outside world.   We will also be adding internet etiquette and safety lessons to the LMC skills classes.  We want our students to be safe, secure, and savvy online, so we will try to give them some tools for achieving that goal.

Finally, both Mrs. Anderson and I will be working on being more involved with students' independent reading.  We have already been discussing some ideas for how to provide our students with more opportunities to share what they read and to build reading motivation.

It will be a busy and productive year.  We look forward to working with all the students and staff here ate Meadowview Intermediate.  If you are ever in the building, feel free to stop in and visit.  We would love to see you!
