It's a pretty big deal. So glad to have you as a reader.

It is an exciting, yet terrifying undertaking. The current librarian is phenomenal. She runs an excellent Accelerated Reader program at the school. Her shoes will be tough to fill, so I'm glad that your blog had some helpful advice. The students at our school who reach 100 AR points normally go on a special field trip. One time, the librarian held an AR auction. Students earned points throughout the year. At the end of the year, students used their points to bid on different prizes. These weren't just any old prizes. The librarian had spent the whole school year sending letters to famous authors, actors, music groups, sports stars, and so on. She received a ton of free goods, like an autographed Joe Paterno football, signed ballerina slips worn on a New York stage, autographed posters and books, etc. The auction was amazing. It was such a blast for the students and really motivated the children to read.<br />reena1922https://www.blogger.com/profile/13787454485067710710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626478366598140547.post-85332937146051635002012-08-14T15:01:06.276-04:002012-08-14T15:01:06.276-04:00BTW, you can see what the login and Home Connect s...BTW, you can see what the login and Home Connect screens look like in the PowerPoint link above. Slides 30-33 are all screen shots of Home Connect.
