Hello and Thanks!

Hello Sedalia Park family!

My name is Kim Holcombe and I am your new media specialist. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcoming. This year is off to a super start and my head is swirling with plans and ideas for SP's media center. I hope we can work together to make reading and learning a fun, exciting challenge.

Please contact me anytime at kimberly.holcombe@cobbk12.org.

 

April in the Media Center

April is National Poetry month. Every grade will be able to celebrate the wonders of poetry.

The first week of April is holiday. The rest of April will be a very busy month of reading to meet AR goals before the Media Center closes for inventory on May 11.  All books are due May 11.

I hope everyone enjoys the books from Communities in Schools. They gave EVERY student a book to take home on Friday, April 1.

Upcoming happenings

On March 2, Sedalia Media Center will be celebrating Read Across America Day. 44 students from Sprayberry High School will enter our school dressed as Cats in the Hats. They will read to selected classes, give each student a Cat in the Hat bookmark, and have everyone recite the Reading Pledge. Try to find Mrs. Share. She will be in a cat suit!

During the month of February, many classes will be studying the almanac. After that, we will be reviewing all 5 basic reference books. Kindergarten and first will have stories and puppet shows going along with their curriculum. February is Black History Month and we will read books honoring African Americans.

 

CVL

All students will be given stickers for their agendas.

These stickers will have the Cobb County Schools' website.

They will also have the user name and password for the Cobb (C) Virtual (V) Library (L).

The December break is a golden opportunity for the students to  use this wonderful site.

It has fun and educational sites that are safe for our students.

Have a GREAT December break!
