Does anyone out there have any good ideas for managing behavior in the library? Last year we had so much trouble with the Kindergarten and 1st graders, getting the to sit still, take turns, raise their hand, walk, etc. Our art teacher has a board with all the class names. When a class is good, they get two stickers, when they're okay they get one sticker, and when they've misbehaved they get no stickers. At the end of the year the top classes got a reward. I'm thinking of doing something…See More

Mike McQueen said… Greetings Jessica,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen
