In February our library circulated 201 physical books.  Our Sora statistics were very impressive.  Our shared digital collection with the middle school library saw the following usage in February:

• e-books:  770 checkouts

• Audiobooks:  161 checkouts

• Magazines:  52 checkouts

March is Women's History Month.  Dr. Griffiths organized brilliant displays of books written by prominent women authors.  The displays contain a variety of books from our diverse collection.  "Polaroid" photos of authors can also be found on the display at the entrance to the media center.  You can put a face to the name of your favorite authors.  Encourage your students to check out these amazing books.

Mr. Robitaille has been working with numerous classes to integrate the powerful presentation tool, Keynote, into lessons.  Keynote is integrated into the iPads and provides users with the ability to generate brilliant multimedia presentations, which can include custom animations.  

Mr. Robitaille demonstrated Keynote to Mrs. Palmieri's physics classes, as well as Ms. Quinn's science classes and AP Lang with Mrs. Chiwaki and Mrs. Von Ville.  Students were able to use Keynote to creatively demonstrate physical and social concepts.  

The presentation possibilities of Keynote are extremely impressive, especially when compared to Google Slides.  Please reach out to Mr. Robitaille to see a demonstration of Keynote and determine if this app can help your students create an amazing project.

It's the time of year that Mr. Robitaille needs to finalize orders for books and media.  If you have any requests for resources, please reach out by the end of the month.
