Horror rules! I loved it and although it is a bit intense during the first chapter, I don't think it is anything like Alex Rider (pretty darn violent) or Lightning Thief. Both are much more complicated reading! I would rate them on a higher level.

Teachers who have elem students reading Alex Rider should consider themselves LUCKY! Very few students at ...See More

What would be a good demo lesson?

by michelle

Jul 5, 2009

I am interviewing for K-6 elementary schools in NJ. What would be a good lesson plan, if the interviewer does not set a guideline?

I would prefer to not use technology in a demo lesson because things often fail at the worst possible time.

Would a read aloud w/an activity be a good idea?

Thanks for your help.

Library Aides in middle school

by Linda H

Jul 6, 2009

I have at least 2 library aides each period and last year I created weekly and semester projects for each of them (Dewey Decimal System, how to shelve books, history of paper, history of printing, etc) - it worked out okay, but I would love to know what other ideas/lessons/projects are used in middle school libraries. Thank you!

Cybrary Man You are extremely fortunate to have library aides. I had to run my middle school library by myself. It was not easy doing all the library chores, supervising a ten computer lab, doing circulation, processing, teaching classes, etc. without any help. Treasure your aides.

I would suggest having the aides also keep your vertical files up to d...See More

Hi Everyone!

I have an interview tomorrow for an elementary librarian position. Prior to teaching, I worked in a public library for four years as a reference assistant, but I do not have any experience in an elementary library and was hoping you guys might have some tips or advice for me.

What kinds of questions do you think they...See More

Jellybeans Thanks! I have been teaching middle school for the last two years, so I am a little rusty on my children's books, but I did work in the children's department of a library for a few years, so hopefully I should be okay with a little bit of review :)

Mac / Mc question

by shelving

Jul 10, 2009

I took cataloging almost 30 years ago. I can remember my cataloging professor telling us that you file Mac and Mc together. McAlister, MacAndrew, McBane, McCone, MacDavid and then you filed names such as Maccarone, and Macomber. Is this correct or have the rules changed, or was it never a rule and I've lost my mind?

Sub plans for elementary LMS YIKES

OP CeCe,

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. I would love to hear more details. I, too, used to sub, so I always try to leave good plans.

Do you have anything generic that you use? Or do you use any library skills books for sub plans, or, for that matter, on a regular basis?

Thanks again.

CeCe Hi- The lesson plans for first and second I "stole" from an art teacher's collection of sub plans. I loved subbing for her because she was SO organized. I pick a picture book that has a problem of some sort in it, after the sub reads the book to the students they either draw or write an extension to the story, such as a new ending, or what happens ...See More
