Our media center ladies spearheaded a neat project for April. It is an I Spy book created by all of our students. Kids were given the format to create an I Spy page, with their poem on the bottem. Then they were to make a collage of pictures on the rest of the page. The pages will be laminated and the kids can read the book in the media center. Some of my kids turned in their own pages for the book. I took lots of pictures with the digital camera and printed them for their use.
