Quiet day in the library. The Library “cadets” or helpers came in in
the morning and did all of their tasks---they are very efficient!
The yearbook staff completed their deadlines so
Mrs. Batson treated them to lunch from Chick Fil A. They are a sweet group of
girls and have worked hard.
I checked in with the teacher that I am working
with about scheduling for next Tuesday. Her group is doing research on famous
artists and I am teaching about evaluating websites using the CRAAP Test. They
get a chance to say craap…I get to teach…win/win!
I again thought about all of the extra jobs that
the media specialist has and how to balance it all.
I also thought a lot about how to make the space
inviting and useful. There are some ESOL students that get sent to the library
when they are not involved in testing or other activities…I know maker’s space
is not for everyone, but maybe my future library should offer something for
kids that come in for a place to be, but don’t need or want to read for an
extended period of time. Some kind of activity that is attractive enough for
older kids and independent enough to not require a lot of adult supervision.
Puzzles? Legos? A TV with the news? Coloring books or murals?
I’m not exactly sure what the solution is, but, I
have been thinking a lot about it and what to do about it…huummm.
