Do you have a chalkboard in your Media Center?

My daughter got into chalkboard art this summer and inspired me to use the chalkboard in my Media Center this year to share/reinforce areas of focus for our school. I put up this welcome at the beginning of the year, but will be changing it occasionally as we make different challenges to our students. 

In September we are encouraging students to create something for the Reflections Art contest. I have pulled books about art, photography, writing, dance, music, filmmaking and such and created this "chalkboard art" to remind students to be creative this month.

 Remember when we did "Book Spine Poetry" at the Peggy Sharp workshop? I thought I would give it a try in April for National Poetry Month, here are a  couple poems we created from books in my library. Searching/reading the titles really got students looking at books they may normally overlook. It was fun!

GREAT Site!

This is an amazing site for Media Specialists! Powerpoint presentations, bookmarks, posters, worksheets, and all kinds of "helps!"
