Before and After

Well Friends,

I think I am finally finished decorating and moving the library around, until summer break anyway! ;)   It has been a long journey with some late evenings and lots of help from my AMAZING husband (figured I better give him a shout out for all his hard work), but I couldnt be happier with the results!  I feel like the library looks more vibrant and alive, but Ill let you be the judge!  Check out the pics below!

BOOK FAIR!!!!!

When I was a young student, I would always get very excited when the book fair came to school! So now, on the opposite end, as a media coordinator, I was curious to see how I would feel about the book fair!  Good news!  I am still SUPER excited! :)  The book fair came this morning, and we finished setting up just in time for the dismissal bell to ring!  Whew it has been a long day!  Dont forget tomorrow night is our open house!  Bring your parents and swing by the book fair for some exciting deals!

Happy Fall!

Happy First Day of Fall!

International Dot Day

One of my favorite things about libraries is the diversity offered in all of the books!  I love being able to pick a book about any topic I want and having the freedom and opportunity to learn more about the subject!  Today we celebrated International Dot Day by reading The Dot by Peter Reynolds and by creating our own dots!  We found out that there are many different ways to create dots....even by not actually drawing a "dot."  I am so proud of the hard work and creativity that Mrs. Otis's first grade class put into this project!

Dont forget to celebrate our differences! :)

Battle of the Books

Hey guys!

Just a heads up that I will be having a quick meeting on Thursday at 1:00 in the library!  The meeting will discuss the upcoming tryouts for Battle of the Books.  I have attached a link below, which will highlight some of the information we will be going over during the meeting.  I have also included a list of the required books/authors for the 2014-15 B.O.B. competition.

SO impressed!

You guys are blowing me away!  I knew that you would do a great job with self checkout, but you have exceeded my expectations by becoming teachers too!  Each of you have been kind and patient to one another, offering helpful advice and troubleshooting errors when fellow students have an issue!  I LOVE seeing all this teamwork!  Keep up the good job guys!

Self Checkout Prezi

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to drop in and leave the link to the Self Checkout Prezi that I created over the weekend.  I plan to use this link to teach you guys more about self checkout and then we will start actually practicing the steps!  Go ahead and take a sneak peak!

Self Checkout

Today was fantastic!! 

Today I met with many of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders to discuss our new checkout procedures.  I decided to implement self checkout for grades 3-5.  I know that you guys are ready to be independent, and I personally feel that you're up for the task at hand!  Today we went over the new system and the steps that you guys would need to take!  I know you guys are going to rock this, but in case you need a little reminder- you find a written copy of the steps beside each computer station!
