This week are celebrating National Library Week (even though it was actually last week, but we were on Spring Break) and School Library Month. The kids are really enjoying the videos on the morning announcements. The teachers say they are really getting into them, clapping and laughing and talking about them. Two of the videos are in the Glogster below. The other two are Dewey Decimal Rap and Party in the Library which will be shown tomorrow.
And I've added something new this year. In the past, I haven't gotten a lot of participation from students in the Vote for your Favorite Book Contest. So this year, every student that submits their vote will be entered into a prize drawing. I enlisted the help of our PTA to provide gift card prizes. I will also have candy and pencils for the lesser prizes. Teachers will also be in a drawing for special 'teacher' prizes, also provided by PTA.
On another note, I had a teacher email me on Monday and ask if I could do a research skills class with her students before they start their poetry research project. Success! Once you get the word out that you can teach students these skills, teachers will ask YOU, instead of you begging them. :) I love my job!!
