It’s time to look back on the week and celebrate all the goodness . Find more at Ruth Ayres.
ONE
The return of my library volunteer. She’s a retired teacher librarian. I am so happy when she can come to help as she is one busy woman these days. Well, she’s always been a busy bee and retirement has nothing on her. But she was able to put up a bulletin board for me to publicize those who had recorded minutes of reading in November. (I do this bi-monthly).
TWO
Discovering websites and apps. Whole Brain Teaching thanks to the link from the music teacher. It has great strategies for working with challenging students. My challenges are with the K-2 crowd. They seem to arrive at school with few social skills.
I also discovered Follet Destiny and Destiny Quest apps for both my IPad and my phone. The library is with me always.
THREE
My friend and colleague visited my library week to do a serious reorganization of the fiction shelves. I believe in easy access for students so my goal is to weed my fiction collection so it will fit along that wall.
Series and possibly a shelf for Award Books will go along this back shelf.
It’s a lot of weeding of books. Our budgets are so limited that getting rid of water damaged and ratty books is difficult. But it helps to have a friend with you.
FOUR
Getting back to teaching. I loved my two-week break but it was good to get back into a routine. I like being able to rise early enough to get my workout completed before heading to school.
FIVE
Santa gave me an Amazon gift card. These arrived this week. Thank you, Santa.
