Today I did a
full day and I kept busy. I arrived at 8:30am and right away had to go to a
classroom to observe Ms. Gratto give a lesson to a 7th grade class
on how to find information for a social sciences assignment. She gave the
students a quick review about how indexes work since most of the information
they are going to need for the assignment is in their textbook. But she also
discussed the different sources available through the library catalog. She had
told me she was giving the same lesson to three different 7th grade
groups and because I need more practice teaching, we agreed I would teach one
of the lessons. In the end, I only taught half of a lesson because it was a
tough group, but I think I did ok at keeping their attention. This was an ESL
class, so we played around with one of the databases to show them how they can
translate the articles. On e of the students asked me to read out loud in
Spanish and we had a bit of fun with that.
In between
lessons I finished processing the books, I added spine labels, barcode labels,
and I put covers on some of the books (see pics below).
Today was a good
and busy day...
