The Loquacious Library

A Newsletter from the SHS Library


Staff: Susan Myers, Irene Tighe, Myra Webb http://loquaciouslibrary.com Normally, the Loquacious does not release an August newsletter. However, due to the amazing activity we witnessed and participated in this month, we felt the need to be loquacious about .

August 2012 Author Author September 18th is 7Reads Day here at SHS. Kathy Patrick, the author of The Pulpwood Queens Tiara-Wearing, Book-Sharing Guide to Life, and C. J. Omololu, the author of Dirty Little Secrets, will be talking to students about their books. We are very excited to be hosting these writers.

Orientation and Edmodo

he Loquacious Librarians love to collaborate. Out of the 45 classes that used the media center, we collaborated with 38 of them. Freshman Academy social studies teachers brought classes in during the first week of school for orientation. Because of orientation, Playaways are already flying off the shelf like hotcakes! This week, we worked with some social studies classes on using Edmodo. Classes also received instruction on Animoto or Prezi depending on the teachers preference. While that was going on, classes came (thank you McDowell, Zurenda and Lindler ) to check out books to read, and Mrs. Tighe worked with Jamisons students on how to use DISCUS and JSTOR. Contact us and let us help you!

Principals Reading Honor Roll ncourage students to join the Principals Reading Honor Roll. A student simply gives us his name, and we create a reading log for him. The student can read a book from ANYWHERE (it doesnt have to be from our collection). Once the student finishes the book, he or she comes in and tells us the name of the book and the author. We record the book in the log. Students who read thirty books by the end of April receive a certificate from the principal. Also, the library staff randomly draws names of active readers and gives prizes.

Edmodo
We worked with the Freshman Academy social studies teachers on how to use Edmodo and set up groups. Susan popped to Mrs. Los room for a oneon-one session on getting into this site. Need help with Edmodo? Feel free to talk to Irene and Susan. We can also be co-teachers for your classes. Stop in for more details.
