Hour of Code Week
If you would like to collaborate! Let me know! We also have a high school student coming on Wednesday to assist students.
Makerspaces
1. Sign up for a different time for Makerspaces- there are plenty of open times- and devote your actual scheduled time for book check out and reading/working on projects. That way you can be with the kids more instead of helping with check out to monitor and challenge them.
2. Only stick with the Makerspaces that are with blocks, legos, etc that don't have the opportunity to get damaged.

The Status of the Media center
Before you leave the media center, choose 2 students to walk through each aisle of the books and straighten them up. If any books are on the floor or misplaced, have them put those on the cart!
As far as Makerspaces, don't allow your students to do an activity if it won't be put back properly. It is not fair to classes coming after you to start in a space that isn't organized. I am leaving the harder and messier ones on the counter for teachers to lead.
I would also like to have library ambassadors that would like to come during recess (indoor recess) to help straighten up too. I don't want them shelving books but straightening up the shelves would be helpful! If you have a few students in mind, send me an e-mail!
