Superintendent of Schools Mrs. Maria Kotch Principal Board of Education Report OCTOBER 2007 Library Jacqueline Matusow On Tuesday, The children of the Media School got to meet a real live author. Dan Gutman has written over 70 books, mostly for children. His life- long love of sports is evident in his Baseball Card Adventure series. The series began with Honus and Me and his latest addition to that series is Satch and Me. He has also written about soccer, golf, skateboarding and basketball. Mr. Gutman is also writing a very successful series for younger students that he calls, “My Weird School.” The kids found him interesting, inspiring and entertaining. They have also checked out every one of his books from the library. Book clubs will be starting next week, here at Media. Participants will be chosen by their teachers and students will read and discuss books in a format not unlike an adult book club. Students will come to the Library during their Core Extension time and be prepared to share, question, make connections, role- play and dig into literature.
