"Hi,
I understand your situation completely, as I'm in an analogous situation myself. Laura posted some great ideas, and since I'm sure you're being bombarded with ideas, I'll just post a few links to some sites that…"

I have been a SLMS for a year and a half. Fortunately and unfortunately I was allowed to do my internship at my school with supervision from a SLMS at another school. I think this is why I am having…Continue

Laura Gable replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"Absolutely, I forgot the obvious!!! That is challenging for my students as well! Another good one is to go through: setting; characters; problem; solution; summary; main idea; lesson/moral. You can also make a story cube.…"
Cindy Pearson replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"It's great information, thank you!"
Jocelyn Sams replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"Cindy, I usually do 3 stations. One of them is always a computer station, where we do a variety of activities related to the library. In another station, I try to review a skill we've already learned. In the 3rd station, I usually work…"
Cindy Pearson replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"Hi Jocelyn, I like your idea of rotating stations once per visit. This will be my first year as a librarian - new school - new staff - new kids! I have each class for around 50 minutes, plenty of time to complete a lesson and check…"
Anne Smith replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"I know that this sounds dumb... but have students work on recalling beginning, middle, end of each story... You can do this verbally or have them illustrate it on paper. It fills a need for sequenceing storylines in English/LA standards and believe…"
Yavodka Owens replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"Jocelyn, yes I make barcodes for every student and that does speed things up. Unfortunately, I can't let the kids check out there books. I tried it before and it was a DISASTER! The kids would forget to scan their cards and would end up…"
Jocelyn Sams replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"You can do it! I know how frustrating this is for you. Is there any way you could get a parent volunteer to help with checkout? One way I buy myself a little time during checkout is to make barcode cards for the students so I…"
Yavodka Owens replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"No I do not have an assistant. I usually try to make it easy by reading a picture book and doing a craft. However because some of my classes are so large its difficult. Plus, when you add that I pay for most/sometimes all of the supplies myself it…"
Jocelyn Sams replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"Yavodka, This is a tricky one. I didn't realize you had to cram book checkout into class time. What I do with my stations is have students visit one station per week. In other words, they rotate to a different station the next…"
Yavodka Owens replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"Laura, we only have 2 computers in the Library and they barely work. I have been looking online but I come up empty. I keep hearing "Set up stations." My only question is, what will they do at these stations and how do we rotate so they…"
Jocelyn Sams replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"I am working on this very thing on my website right now. My lessons are designed for 35 minute class periods. I normally do stations in my classes. Visit Elementary Librarian and look for my updates on Facebook and Twitter! …"
Laura Gable replied to Yavodka Owens's discussion New SLMS in desperate need of Lessons"So are you saying that you don't have access to computers? If not that is no big deal there is still plenty that you can do. Maybe you can set up stations? You can also find tons of lessons online. You can break a lesson…"

I have been a SLMS for a year and a half. Fortunately and unfortunately I was allowed to do my internship at my school with supervision from a SLMS at another school. I think this is why I am having so much trouble now. In my previous life I was a 7/8 teacher at a school that had a computer lab but now I'm a SLMS at a Elementary School (PreK4 - 5) with a Computer Lab that is used during Computer time. HERE IS MY PROBLEM: I have no idea what to do with my students!!! Yes I try to teach…See More

Mansfield University Scholarship Program – Begin in January 2012
In an ongoing effort to recruit a new generation of school library leaders, Mansfield University recently received a fifth Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS) grant to fund scholarships for its totally online School Library & Information Technologies Master of Education degree program with school library certification. If you know of an educator or non-certified librarian seeking school library certification, please pass along the news that we are still accepting applications for the spring 2012 semester.
The Master of Education program, ideally suited for working educators
with no time to drive to a university, offers a convenient and effective path to school library certification. For detailed information and contacts please refer to the Fulfilling the Promise homepage, at http://libweb.mansfield.edu/promise/, or contact Cynthia Keller, Department Chair ckeller@mansfield.edu
