Capstone Interactive eBooks are an awesome resource available in our library for both students and staff! These engaging, interactive texts do double duty as an audiobook, too! Students can elect to have the books read aloud and/or highlight the words as it reads. The best part about these amazing titles is that they have an unlimited number of simultaneous users! This means a single user, a small group, an entire class, or even the whole school can be reading the same book at the same time! It's amazing! Here's a short video I created to show you the easiest way to access our Capstone Interactive collection... as of today, there are 270 titles available for you at SPMS to check out! Enjoy! What's your favorite Capstone Interactive title? Comment below and tell me!

The SPMS Knitting Club had our first meeting last night, and it was amazing! We had such a great time learning how to needle knit, loom knit, and crochet. We practiced casting-on and basic knit stitches during our first meeting. Over the coming weeks, the students will learn more techniques, including: knits, purls, yarning over, increasing, decreasing, and more! They will then select a project (such as a hat, scarf, ear wrap, etc.). Several of the students expressed interest in knitting newborn hats for our local hospital! Are you wondering why you should learn to knit? In addition to being able to make cool projects, it turns out that knitting has some neat health benefits as well. Read about them here! We had a lot of staff interest, too! Special thanks to the teachers who helped oversee the club and teach the various skills. Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Knepper, YOU ROCK! Are you an SPMS Student or staff member interested in joining knitting club? Check out our meeting dates on our website: http://www.springfieldmiddle.com or see Mrs. Hurley for details! Check out pictures from our first meeting below - it was a blast! As you can see, we even had one student's Nana come to knitting club. YAY! |
