"Overdrive" information coming from the CCPL

The following is a note from Miss Teeple, our Media Specialist...

Dear 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th Grade Families,

The Cherry Tree Media Center is pleased to share with you that during the week of January 26^th, the Carmel Clay Public Library (CCPL) will be joining us at Cherry Tree during your child’s media special. They will be sharing information about Overdrive, a simple, method for reading eBooks on computers and tablet devices.  Students will be invited to bring in their personal device, in accordance with our school BYOD policy.  Bringing a device is OPTIONAL, and students without a device will be able to participate using a school computer.  The CCPL has requested that if a student is able to bring his/her library card number, or a parent’s library card number, this will enhance our time with them.  They do not need to bring the actual card.  A post it note, with the library card number, is sufficient.  For more information, or to download a CCPL Library Card application, please visit our Media Center webpage by clicking HERE. 

Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have prior to their visit.

Thank you!
Miss Teeple

Class T-Shirt Gifts

Two of our lovely students have been working on a secret project for a couple of weeks. Ali and Alexis have created personalized t-shirts for our entire class!

You can see how excited we are to have these cool shirts! Alexis and Ali had wrapped each one and we all opened up the gifts at the same time--what fun! Each student's name is even on the back of their shirt.

Here are a couple of pictures of our entire class:

We can't wait for the winter party later today!
