Entry #6--Riley Grant

February 9, 2017

Another busy day!

I attended another Book Talk for sixth graders and continue to be impressed with how excited the students get after the Book Talks--they head straight to the library to get started on their books!

I am brewing in my mind potential Reading Incentives for next year. I am weighing options and scenarios for elementary and middle school.

My fondness for middle school has been a big surprise to me. I never, ever, considered a middle school until it was required for my internship! Now, I'd really like the opportunity to serve this age level! I'm still a little amazed!

Christy walked me through ordering through Follett. I know I will have questions when it comes time for me to do this on my own, but it was helpful to see the screens and be able to ask questions. It was interesting to learn that orders over $1,500 require the district to order for you, so it is in my best interest to keep orders under this amount in order to maintain "control" over my orders. This way I can see online the order status and keep up with them. This led me to start thinking about my organization process and deciding how to organize to best fit my habits.

We also helped a teacher with her classroom printer--replacing toner. It was quite a little process! I especially appreciate Christy giving me little tips and tricks with regards to ordering these materials from the district.

The weeks are flying by quickly!
