A Learning Center Can Happen to You.
Currey, Mary Nell; Hancock, Vickie
This booklet describes the development and activities of the Clinton Park Elementary School Media Center, a first and second grade learning center located in Clinton, Mississippi. Following introductory materials on the establishment of the media center in September 1975 and federal funding of media center projects from 1975 to 1978, information is presented on: (1) media center circulation activities; (2) special weekly activities; (3) instructional television viewing in the media center; (4) "Wednesday at the Media Center," a program which introduces children to the talents of persons living in the local community; (5) the Reading Resource Handbook project, which coordinated the reading programs taught at Clinton Park with the material in the media center; (6) the development of "interest centers" and skills games to instruct children in media skills; and (7) the use of volunteers to assist in media center activities. Examples of activity units and exercises, activity lists for the 1976/77 and 1977/78 school years, sample media center advertisements, photographs of media center activities, and other sample media center materials are provided throughout the booklet. A list of Clinton Park Elementary School staff and a seven-item bibliography are also given. (ESR)
