Board of Education Report
OCTOBER 2007

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.
