This summer, I am working on becoming more expressive. I am taking a beginners acting class and reading up on storytelling. A goal is to motivate all the students to participate more.
Copy and paste this link for a few great videos on Alvin Ailey's dance group's work. Wow!

Star Tests
Star Tests are now two weeks away. There is tension. There is worry. There are short tempers. There are thank-yous for help. The teachers try to cover everything that might be on the test. The librarian imagines what might be on the test besides selecting the correct encyclopedia. The students continue to read R.L. Stine. Will life be better after the test...?

Hit Counter
Ok, you know I'll be surprised if I hit 2 on the counter before I return.
The book ordering went well - new Spanish books, good reading, and science this year. The kids like the Mostly Ghostly's and more. The only reject was one set of grade 2 mystery stories - the old copies went out, but I can assume that the students were running short of choices. Many more verbal exchanges would be helpful.
It's that budget cut time of the year and everyone is wondering what will happen to this library building-up project. Hopefully, two more steps of automation and two years of basic book buying will not ouch the system.

I'm almost through the 900's (not including biography) in automating. It simply takes time. Can't seem to get my other school to snap to the idea of automating, though.
It's time for book orders. There are enough requests to use twice as much money as allocated. New states books are $1000, for example, and this much money is all that is given to a small school of say, 330. Motivating, educational, colorful, clean, reading level, author, how-many-similar, and which-is-better-for-our-school to consider.
