KME Teacher Receives National Recognition - Dave Ingram January 27, 2012
Regina Biggers, who teaches 2nd grade at Kosciusko Middle Elementary, along with paraprofessional Shelia McCrory, was awarded Reading Model Classroom Certification by Renaissance Learning, a Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., based company. Reading Model Classroom certification indicates that Mrs. Biggers’ and Mrs. McCrory’s dedication to implement the company’s Accelerated Reader Best Practices to a high degree has resulted in measurable improvements in thier class’s reading performance over a 12-week period. These include allocating 30 min to 60 minutes daily for students to engage in independent reading practice, monitoring student progress, diagnosing reading problems, setting goals, and motivating readers. “It has simply been wonderful. Mrs. Biggers’ dedication and tireless work ethic has really benefitted her students during the process. It is our goal to have every student reading at or above grade level and Mrs. Biggers’ and Mrs. McCrory’s efforts have helped make a large step in that direction,” said John-Mark Cain, principal at Kosciusko Middle Elementary. “Mrs. Biggers always has the best interest of her students at heart and realizes just how important reading is to their future. She just does a great job everyday and she constantly tries to find new ways to improve student achievement in her classroom. We are extremely lucky to have her here at Kosciusko Middle Elementary.” Renaissance Learning developed the Accelerated Reader software more than 25 years ago to help teachers accurately and efficiently monitor the quantity and comprehension of their students’ reading practice. After reading a book at the appropriate level, students take a comprehension quiz at a computer. Teachers can use Accelerated Reader’s immediate feedback on reading and vocabulary growth to motivate and monitor student growth.Greenlee Elementary Hosting Book Fair - Dave Ingram January 27, 2012

This week's new dial-a-story at the Attala County Library is "Three Hens and a Peacock" written by Lester L. Laminack and illustrated by Henry Cole. "Everything was quiet on the Tucker's farm...until the day that peacock showed up... When a glamorous visitor lands unexpectedly in their midst and begins attracting new customers, three unhappy hens protest: " How come we do all the hard work and he gets all the attention?" To keep the peace, the wise old hound dog makes a suggestion" Why don't you just swap jobs?" What will happen when three gussied-up hens spend the day strutting and prancing down by the road? And will that peacock ever figure out how to lay an egg?" Children can call the free dial-a-story line at 289-8069 to hear this story over the telephone. Kids are also encouraged to come by the library and check this book out on their library card. Each week kids can get a free coloring sheet at the library that is related to the dial-a-story. Dial-a-story is made possible by the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System and an LSTA grant from the Mississippi Library Commission.
