End of Summer Reading Challenge

We're getting close to the end of our summer reading challenge. How close are you to reading 1 million pages? I've got about 50,000 pages read. Only 16 more days!

What are you reading now?

I just finished reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. I really enjoyed it and wondered why I hadn't already read it! It was definitely one of those hard to put down reads. If you haven't already read the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, you definitely should.
I just started reading Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. It's very good so far.
What are you reading? Reply below and let me know!
Also reply if there are any books you would like to see in our media center this year so that I can order them.

A New Tool for Fun or for Projects

I just recently discovered a website that can be used for project presentations or just for playing around. It's called Prezi. It is an interactive website that includes graphics. Here's an example of one that I made that includes books and other materials on the topic of Family. http://prezi.com/xxnamxfa0irm/family-slis-j757-final/
Or you can go to the homepage, where you can sign up to create your own. The website includes tutorials to get you started. http://prezi.com/index/
