New teaching experience today. Had to remove a spring one of my fish swallowed! How did a spring end up in my fish tank??? The fish seemed fine, Art/Library version of catch and release? 😂

My new “drying” racks for school. HUGE bargain compared to the “real” ones that are horribly designed.

Finally got to use my slab roller today!

Going to try this for next year. Tired of hearing “you didn’t tell us that!” When kids get their grades.

So glad I’m able to be at TIE 2019! Learned so much my first day. #reachoutlibs #TIE2019

#reachingoutlibs U2A2 With my lack of technology, I’ve found my kids love watching books read on the Smartboard over me reading to them out loud. No fighting to see the pictures, no strain on my voice. Would love to create a library of videos of my own to share.

#reachingoutlibs U1A4 I think I am accomplishing the “grow” portion. My students were so used to a teacher just finding books for them, and just telling them what to read, they were not able to explore their interests and find reading materials for themselves. They’re getting it!

[Laura Drietz @DrietzLaura]

#reachoutlibs U1A3 I ended up exploring the area of essential conditions. I have voiced my frustration previously about technology in my school. We have relatively modern equipment, but our tech support is very disorganized and inconsistent.

Unit 1 Activity 2: Turning an Elementary Library into the Heart of a school. I have made strides in getting technology available and making the library a welcoming place for my students. #reachingoutlibs

[Laura Drietz @DrietzLaura]

Unit 1 A1 I looked at the shared infographics section. As a new librarian, I liked the visual presentation of what we do every day, and will share with my students. Today I had a perfect example of that “inquire” section. This applies to students and teacher! #reachingoutlibs
