March Media Meeting

We had a Media Meeting after school yesterday afternoon.  I am already a member of the Media Team so this was nothing new.  We have a Media Meeting 4-5 times every school year.  The meetings are about an hour long depending on how much we have to discuss.  At our meeting this time, our Media Specialist read the list of new books that she purchased for our school.  We discussed what will be occurring during the next month.  Read Across America is March 2^nd that celebrates Dr. Seuss’ birthday. The PBS Go Writers contest is March 7^th, Student Media Festival Entries is March 9^th and the Spring Book Fair from March 23^rd to March 30^th will be happening. The book fair was discussed a lot.  We talked about our theme ( which is a luau) and what decorations we would be using.  We discussed what jobs needed to be done and how many volunteers we would need.  We talked about the writers contest.  For the PBS Go Writers contest students have to write a story that has 5 pictures and particular word count.  Student Media Festival entries can be a book that the student has written and illustrated that can be made into a movie, a photo essay, almost anything media related.  The meeting was very successful we discussed a lot.  I even brought a big bowl of M&M's for everyone to share!   It looks as though March will full of fun for our Media Center.
