G.A.S. Galactic Academy of Science chapter book series

Tumblehome Learning Inc. has done their homework!  Combining pure science with adventure, their G.A.S.  series will draw the students in with their Manga-like illustrations by Huang Min-Chun and keep the students reading with humor, adventure, and scientific-suspense!  Be sure to stop by Good Reads to find my review of The Furious Case of the Fraudulent Fossil by author Barnas Monteith.  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22309458-the-furious-case-of-the-fraudulent-fossil

I'd like to thank Dr. Pendred Noyce, of the Noyce Foundation http://www.noycefdn.org for writing Accelerated Reader questions for each of the books in this series.  We worked together over the summer to get these test loaded into our Mt. Carmel Elementary Renaissance Learning test bank.  Now our students will receive A.R. credit and points when they choose the path to STEM with through this intriguing series.

Maker Space Friday

Excitement and anticipation builds!  School starts back for teachers tomorrow and we meet our new students this Friday, July 31st!  As School Librarian for Mt. Carmel Elementary I have been working all summer (well, between mowing grass and taking vacations) to create a fabulous addition to our school library:  Maker Space Friday!  Each Friday a new S.T.E.M. topic will be featured in the library and students can sign up for hands-on learning designed especially for budding scientists!

Community Volunteers are encouraged and sought out!  Come share your speciality in this unique learning environment.  See Mrs. Dunning, School Librarian to plan how to intertwine your filed with our elementary course of study.
