Another fun full day in the library! I helped with circulation a lot again today. I took down the library bulletin board information on different genres in the hallway to get it ready for our IMPACT project bulletin board.
I catalogued the two new copies of "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Ugly Truth" which were immediately taken off of the shelf and checked out by students. Several students also wanted the book put on hold.
Mary gave me a list of topics that our AIG teacher wanted for her class. She wanted tall tales about John Henry, Jack tales, and Appalachian (Christmas) traditions. It took me a little while to find all of the books that I thought would be acceptable for her. I knew she would not have wanted simple versions of the stories so I looked for more mature book versions for the class. I pulled about 20 books for her that I thought she could use. I then checked them out in her name and brought them down to her classroom. I told her that there were several other books about other tall tales like Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill. She was happy with the collection I pulled but asked for the FireFox reference books and another book I was not originally sure of ("Appalachian Scrapbook"). She was very happy with it!
I helped Ms. Murph's third grade class with their Solar System project for about 45 mins. I helped two boys cover their display box with black paper and helped several others with their summaries.
One teacher came to the library looking for me to help her find a Pages document that her high school teacher helper did not save on her computer. I looked in several places I thought I could find it on her laptop. I asked her if the girl had chose no when it asked whether she wanted to save and Susan said yes that she purposely did not save. I told her that there was no way to retrieve the info if that was the case because she had actually said no and that is just what the computer thought.
Mary also showed me how she catalogs her magazines. They keep a binder with the different magazine titles listed with a monthly check off. Then she stamps the front and back of the magazine with a Mt. Ulla stamp. The magazines also get a label in the top left corner with the month and year written on them. I then took the magazines to the back room where I began organizing the magazine boxes of the "Teacher's Helper" magazine. All of the boxes are labeled with the title of the magazine, the year of the magazine, and the grade levels for the magazine. Surprisingly there were A LOT of magazines that were not in the correct boxes. You would think that teachers could put them back into the correct boxes since they are labeled so plainly.
That afternoon, Danielle, Annie (my second grade colleagues), Mary and I all met for our second IMPACT project- Christmas Around the World. We discussed the template that students were going to use for their research and the box that they were going to create for their final product. We also made our rotation schedule and made sure we all knew what we were doing for our country.
It was another great day and I learned a lot.
