Hello again! This week I continued processing all of the new Language Arts novel sets. Packaging them for delivery and putting on all of the bar codes that are necessary for Destiny. It really is amazing all that Ms. Peters has to keep up with! We had a lady come in today and ask to be a volunteer. Ms. Peters was ecstatic! Our media center relies heavily on volunteers as she only has one paraprofessional to help her. Keep in mind we have 1100 students in the school with only one media specialist. We also had a school level media meeting. Discussed were the book fair and Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl. Ms. Peters is in the process of organizing these two events, getting volunteers ready and all the other stuff that she must do for this. I was able to sit in and listen to the discussion of what will take place in the coming weeks. Ms. Peters also went over financial reports with me and instructed me on how she handles the budget and money that comes into the media center. This is important with the book fair coming up because it is a big fundraiser for our media center. Besides all of this, I helped our with all regular duties in the library. I also had my site visit with Dr. Green and it went well. There is so much to do but I had a nice visit and it seems like I am on track! I am continuing to learn and gain confidence!
I forgot to mention that each week now I am spending time at the high school media center as well. Ms. Whitetree has shown me how to catalog items in Destiny as well and I helped her process about a dozen books. The high school is a very different atmosphere than the middle school because of the maturity level of the students. Different but in a good way! See you next week.
