So far this week I've been working on my evaluation of the reference collection project. I spent some time online looking at different reference materials that I would like to add to our media center. I found some good materials that should meet the needs of our pre-k through 5 students better than the materials that we have on the shelves now. I have also been working on my collaborative lesson. I am filling out the lesson plan based on my discussion with the teacher, and I've been looking for some online activities to work on the information literacy skills that I will target in the unit. I found a few that I will share with the teacher to get her input. This week is a short week for our students due to an in-service on Thursday and fall break on Friday and next Monday. The teacher for my unit will be on a field trip all day tomorrow (Wed.), and she'll be in a workshop all day Thursday. So, we won't have a chance to meet and plan again until next week.
After I left my school today, I went to our middle/high school to get some more practicum hours at a different grade level. I reshelved some books in the fiction and non-fiction areas, and I began straightening the non-fiction shelves. Keeping the books in the right order is sharpening my math skills! Today I saw a big difference in the non-fiction books at the two media centers. Most of the ones at the middle/high school are bigger and heavier than those at the elementary school. Several of the books that I rearranged today were too bulky for me to pick up with one hand. That rarely happens in our non-fiction section. In fact, some large books fell over on the shelf where I was working and broke a plastic slide-on bookend. It doesn't seem that it would take so long to shelve books, but I only made it through part of the non-fiction area today.
