There will be a slight change to the library schedule next week. I will be working regular hours (8 AM-3:30 PM) on Thursday, December 20th due to the early dismissal. This means there will be no after school AR & research project sessions on that day.
My regular Thursday schedule (10 AM-5:30 PM) will resume after Winter Break. Thank you so much!
- I must have written parent permission no later than Wednesday of the week the students want to stay.
- No more than 10 students can stay each week. (I want to be able to spend time working with them and giving them the attention they deserve.)
- Students must be picked up no later than 5:15 PM.
- If there are behavior problems, students will not be allowed to stay again.
Welcome back, Roadrunners! This is going to be an exciting year at RES. I’ve already had the chance to visit with nearly every class in the school and everyone seems so happy and motivated to learn.
Unfortunately, I don’t get to teach Library classes during the first week of school. A lot of students stop me in the hall and ask, “Why don’t we have Library?” So I thought I would post an entry on my blog dedicated to “A Librarian’s First Week of School” to give a little behind-the-scenes look at what happens.
The beginning of the school year is full of busy, busy, busy things to do! Among many other things, a school librarian…
- checks out textbooks to the students and teachers
- spends time assisting the kindergarten classes
- checks out equipment (like TVs, projectors, cameras, speakers, etc.) to the teachers
- processes new books
- sets up schedules and sign-up sheets for technology (like the iPad cart)
- organizes the library (this year we completely re-designed the layout of the library shelving and tables)
- updates the databases for Alexandria Librarian and Accelerated Reader
- assists teachers with technology issues
- creates orders for new books and materials
- attends meetings (and more meetings)
- meets with teachers to begin collaborative planning and to create a list of materials they would need to help their students be successful learners
- takes photos and posts updates on the school website
- updates the school calendar…and more!
