August 18 - First Week of School
Staff Checkout
If you are in need of items for your classroom you can request materials for me to pull for you or you can come in the library and get what you need. If you stop in the library to check something out and I'm not in the library, please write down the barcodes on the "CODE" clipboard found behind Smaug's tank. If you would like me to pull books for you, PLEASE email them to me so I don't forget as I'm walking down the hallway. :) I am also happy to arrange books to be delivered from Fountaindale Library. As part of my annual paperwork, I have to report InterLibrary Loans from Fountiandale. If you let me handle the request for you, it makes my paperwork more accurate.
The Book Fair is coming!
Save the Date! The Scholastic Book Fair will be here September 12th - 16th. More information coming soon.
Collaboration Sessions
I will continue my quarterly Collaboration Sessions with grade levels this year. I will send the invites out as a calendar invite through outlook. Participation in these sessions is optional. :)
What is Star Wars Go?
Pokemon Go! is all the rage right now. I'm not a Pokemon fan, but I DO LOVE STAR WARS! I wanted to make my library orientation more kid friendly and FUN, so I created Star Wars Go! I made 30 videos about the Tibbott Library. Each video is VERY short, about 10 seconds to about 30 seconds in length. I also created QR Codes for each video. Each QR Code is attached to a Star Wars Character or Symbol hanging around the library. The students pair up, and use the QR Code reader app on the iPad to "catch" the Star Wars Characters. Want to know more about the JRT Library? You can grab and iPad and play Star Wars Go! :)
