It's the first day!

It is the first day of school. I wish that last year I had written down what it felt like to be in a school for the first year. This year feels strange. I'm here and everything seems kind of familiar but I feel like I know more. I guess that's good.


 My bulletin board for back to school involved our summer reading challenge. Students sent me pictures of themselves reading over the summer and when they did they got an entry to win a prize. Each picture was an entry. I then put them up on this bulletin board. I think it's pretty cute. I might laminate the material to use again.

It says "Where did you read this summer?"

We'll see how much interest there was in the summer reading program and then revisit it this upcoming year. It's strange to think about next summer on the first day of school.

First day. Year 2!

Here I am again. It's September and school is starting next week. This is my second year as a library media specialist. I think I'm more nervous this year than last year. What I hope to do with this blog (or whatever it may be), is create a chronicle that follows what I do each year. I want to look back and understand what I've accomplished. I hope to give other librarians and teachers ideas on the way. I think that we have a unique job in a school, one that's important.
