End of year
Wow! It is almost the end of the year and I can't believe that there is so little time left.
Not only is my district reconfiguring the 7-9 schools into K-8 in two years, I move to be TL in a new school in September.
I am trying to decide whether purchasing texts for grade 9 is worth it for one year....and wondering where the middle schools are going to put the K-6 collection, plus thinking about shelving, tables, etc.....

I added a comment on your discussion about safe Blogs without realizing that you are from Comox, which I know is in BC. I am used to responding to school library media specialists in the States so I have a tendency of referring to "up here in BC". My apologies for that. It is nice to see a fellow Canadian on this teacher librarian network. We have a growing number of Canadians joining. I hope that when we have sufficient numbers that we can start our own group.

It's nice to "meet" another BC'er! How's the weather on the island? Hopefully you don't have the flooding worries that are going on in other parts of the province.
I've never taught an all boys class. How did you find it? I think it would be neat to try. My perspective on boys and the way they learn has changed dramatically since I've had my own two sons. It is one reason I'm so interested in the topic, but I also see that there is a need for looking into supporting male students in my professional work. One of our school growth plan goals is improving reading skills, with an emphasis on our male population. It's nice to have a goal where the library (and the teacher-librarian) can play a big role.
I think it's a bit like when a parent tells their child something but they don't listen until someone in the 'real world' says the same thing. We really enjoyed the Comox bunch!
I'm coming to Comox in two weeks with a team from North Vancouver to present Web in the Classroom and Meaning in Data. Will you be attending the session by any chance? It's on May 26th.
Today in Winnipeg...no mosquitoes. They are legendary!!
We've visited the Comox area. Very nice. Much of our family is in the Vancouver area.
Have you heard of YackPack? That was what took my attention for an hour or two today. The free tool would seem to be a great way to connect with others using voice messages. Several of us experimented with it today and all were impressed with the ease of use.
Enjoy your weekend - Margaret
