Our Hearts Belong to Books 57:2011

One of our student teachers put this bulletin board together for the month of February. First graders wrote about their favorite book and had their picture taken showing how much they love their book.

Skippyjon Jones Returns! 56:2011

Yay! Skippyjon Jones returned to the library after a mysterious disappearance. Ms. Angela, our custodian, rescued him from the Lost and Found this morning. Rumor has it that Mr. S. Jones had some sort of wild adventure in the school cafeteria. He promises to be good and stay in the library, but you never know with that little rascal. I hope Pete the Cat will help him to stay in line. How did Pete the Cat handle his friend's disappearance? Sources say he kept walking along, singing his song. Perhaps Pete was already aware of Skippyjon's secret adventure. Hmmm... I must watch those two more closely.

Caught Reading 55:2011

Ms. Worth's second grade students came to the library today and read quietly after checking out books. It was so nice and peaceful. Even a table of four active boys were caught reading Jumanji, No David, and Michelle Obama. One boy said that the First Lady looks WAY too young to be in her 40s.

New Cameras for Steed 53:365

Smile! Our digital cameras finally arrived! We purchased 14 Canon PowerShot A495 digital cameras as part of our Oklahoma Educational Technology Trust grant. I have spent much of the day getting them ready for students and teachers to use. Three are already being used in a 3rd grade class. The teacher wanted 6 but I couldn't get them ready fast enough. I took this picture with one of the new cameras, and it is really sharp!

Name That Relic 47:2011 #365project

We still have this our library storage room, but I don't think it has been used since I've been there. Our younger teachers don't recognize what it is. It's actually newer than the ones at my previous libraries. These contraptions were high tech when I was in elementary school many years ago. Hint: it was useful for making bulletin boards.

Blue Sky 44:2011 #365project

Looking up at the sky outside my front door, around 6:15 p.m. We've had a lovely warm day which has helped to melt a lot of the snow from earlier in the week. The blue of this sky reminds me of my mother's husband's sparkling blue eyes. he passed away Thursday morning and will be greatly missed. He was a dear, sweet man and loved my mother very much.

Pile of Snow 42:2011 #365project

We had school today after yet another snowstorm. The district cleared all the parking lots, leaving huge piles of snow. I parked next to this particular pile, which was taller than me. By the way, we are having a candy bar fundraiser. I took this picture with the iPod Touch.
