First, I must thank my colleague LB for her role in getting the schedule straight. She shared the vision of having equal time in the SLIC for all middle school classes. The middle schoolers have generally accepted the idea of coming to the library on a regular basis.
The booktalk/podcasts have been really cool, especially to see that some kids really shine in this type of media work. We have an entire webpage to show for it: http://vmbruins.com/podcasts.htm .
I have also enjoyed working with the primary kids. This too has gone "well" which means that I am learning lots of new things about this age group and how to relate to them!
The ongoing weeding and cleanup has gone well. I can see positive results in the look of the room. Giving the dicarded books away has been a great way to connect with some of our parents, and kids too.
We have been given funds to buy at least 2 more workstations for the SLIC, which is awesome! I sense the support of the parents groups at our school through these commitments.
A new parent volunteer has come along and has been a huge help.
The kids library helpers, especially the juniors, have been immensely helpful and they enjoy being able to help out. Such enthusiasm!
