Ok, so darn this video, my eyes are leaking! And you couldn't pay me to go back to Elem school (LOVE my middleschoolers!) But these kids make me smile, laugh, sniffle and make me happy! Brava!

 

--- BUT SAD FACE! I just called the school and they DO NOT HAVE A LIBRARIAN! Kid, grownups or otherwise. And the lovely lady who answered the phone said that teachers take the kids there but they cannot check out the books because oh wait.. No Librarian - the Librarian is MISSING!

Are you using Pinterest in your library? How are you using it? How is it helping you to serve your students' needs?

I'm using it for PLN but to be honest I prefer scoop.it. Looking forward to watching how to use it in school for academic research. I hope that I will start to find it more useful.

A new report released by the National Center for Literacy Education (NCLE) reveals that school librarians are highly involved leaders playing a critical role in their schools through consistent and sustained collaboration with other educators. Additionally, school librarians not only participate in but deliver professional development to peers, educators and staff in their schools.

22 Rules of Story Telling every Teacher should Know about

22 Rules of Story Telling every Teacher should Know about | librariansonthefly | Scoop.it

"Writing is a scary task  for students because  it is partly a single-minded activity that calls for a lot of serious thinking and partly due to the overarching focus that has being placed on teaching writing as product and not  process. Donald Murray, a writing theorist of grand calbire, is unequivocal on this, in his Write to Learn  , Murray emphasizes the importance of teaching writing as a process. For him the problem with teachers of writing is that they are trained as teachers by studying a product and when they are  teaching writing  to their students, they basically focus their attention on what students have produced and not  what they might have done."
