Google changed some settings which will require me to re-upload all of those Google Docs in order for others to have access to them. I am slowly working on doing that, but as you can imagine, 11 years worth of freebies will take awhile to re-upload. Thanks for understanding and for continue to be a reader.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZNgNk1zGWNzNu1TIsqAoTACuD6nTsod0eHiBEfnSJw_XjUzlmvP67mZv4uReOzjjn1QCRbFK26KiMzqsuO1RfPIccEw2qw9p5dwcllMQyKNSARHlmuYLKqFXIeGXKP9igjC2PTi7sCM3pM9x1qeMcao8ZHxhGhjpJerCJRYaRu7hgn0JcyRcdWRpj7g=s1250" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="765" data-original-width="1250" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZNgNk1zGWNzNu1TIsqAoTACuD6nTsod0eHiBEfnSJw_XjUzlmvP67mZv4uReOzjjn1QCRbFK26KiMzqsuO1RfPIccEw2qw9p5dwcllMQyKNSARHlmuYLKqFXIeGXKP9igjC2PTi7sCM3pM9x1qeMcao8ZHxhGhjpJerCJRYaRu7hgn0JcyRcdWRpj7g=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626478366598140547.post-29949846471332254812021-01-01T07:30:00.001-05:002022-02-03T11:11:57.005-05:00Taking a Break<p> Hey bloggy friends!</p><p><br /></p><p>Just wanted to drop a quick note to say that I will be taking a break from blogging. I don't know how long this break will be. I just know that my life is a bit hectic right now and something's gotta give. I hope to be back to blogging eventually.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
April is School Library Month. There are so many ways you can celebrate this month, even from home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, visit the <a href="http://www.ala.org/aasl/" target="_blank">AASL</a> and download <a href="http://www.ala.org/aasl/advocacy/slm" target="_blank">free banners and signs</a> you can use on all of your social media accounts. There are several versions of this year's banners and signs available as well as past years' themes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="389" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vR0AWabhNMh_3buomirVs-ZqXasGfctgqAXZYeSbj30Ps25sbSSyOYUHOnVxARhtw/embed?start=true&loop=true&delayms=30000" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="480"></iframe>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Share a fact about school libraries once a week or every day on social media. You can flip through this Google Slides presentation to see examples of facts you could share.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can download my free advocacy pack with fact pages on it <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/School-Libraries-Matter-Advocacy-Pack-2019-2498851" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I made this pack last year to go with the 2019 AASL SLM theme. The theme this year is more generic, so I decided not to change the pack for this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBDW8BhGB8/?igshid=1xjt2nuvkv6ss" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="895" data-original-width="902" height="317" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1dC9j2UqApc/XoPycT2lPjI/AAAAAAAASuo/0_D8huZyG8kL3Vw9cE5qkz6L4ueGT4nYwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/SLM19%2Bdisplay.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In past years, I have made a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBDW8BhGB8/?igshid=1xjt2nuvkv6ss" target="_blank">display to put in the media center </a>with the facts listed on it. I put out the "I love my school library" sheets out in front of the display and had students write what they love about our library on them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkcLB1BWTs/?igshid=x66mshbrvbs2" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="896" height="317" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GjhThhkkCnE/XoPywWwGEyI/AAAAAAAASuw/jG4U2jsYUcsJinyfleLvGOYYSo2ZoOjrwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/SLKM19%2Bdisplay%2B2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would hang up their responses on a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkcLB1BWTs/?igshid=x66mshbrvbs2" target="_blank">bulletin board in the hallway</a>. I can't do that this year, but one way to digitize this would be to create a Google form for students to fill out. You could then put these responses into a Google Slide to share.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And speaking of Google Forms, the Georgia Library Media Association has created a fun Google Form you can fill out to celebrate National School Library Month. The Google Form creates a <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe2_YV3AemjNJ0hHZnB4mRyIvcYccNOXIlVmc3w9cIkD1w8kg/viewform" target="_blank">Librarygram</a> that will be sent to the school librarian of your choice. You just need to know the name of the school or organization where that librarian works and their email address. The <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe2_YV3AemjNJ0hHZnB4mRyIvcYccNOXIlVmc3w9cIkD1w8kg/viewform" target="_blank">Librarygram</a> will be sent to them to brighten their day.</div>

This story starter pairs well with the book <i>Twas the Night Before St. Patrick's Day</i> by Natasha Wing. It's one of my favorite stories to read for St. Patrick's Day. I have made some auras with Aurasma to go with this book to make it even more exciting to read. If you'd like to use the auras I've created, just follow the Aurasma channel I used to create the auras. To do that, after downloading the Aurasma app on your mobile device, click on or type in this link in a browser on your DEVICE and you will be able to follow the channel: <a href="http://auras.ma/s/jDB4n">http://auras.ma/s/jDB4n</a></div>

<br />
One of my favorite websites on this Sqworl is the Leprechaun cam which is a live webcam feed in a field in Ireland. I usually keep this website up on our ActivBoard the entire St. Patrick's Day so that students can keep watch for leprechauns. Click <b><a href="http://www.irelandseye.com/leprechaun/lwatchnj.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a></b> to go to the website.<br />

Hope you find something fun you can use with your little leprechauns.<br />

A few summers ago, I started to really get into listening to audiobooks. That eventually led me to listening to podcasts. I have since added a growing number of podcasts to my podcast library, most of which are library, tech, or education related.<br />

This is my FAVORITE school library related podcast. This was the podcast that got me hooked on podcasts. I binge-listened to every episode last summer and have since made sure to catch all new episodes. Amy Hermon hosts these weekly podcasts and she has a variety of guests on her show to talk about all things library-related. Bonus-if you email her, she will send you one of her cool podcast stickers and a sweet note.</div>

The NEA, sponsor of Read Across America, began moving away from a Seuss theme last year and has since moved to a theme of more diverse reads for RAA week and for every month. They have published a list of ways to celebrate this week. You can read them <b><a href="https://www.readacrossamerica.org/ideas-for-celebrating-raa/" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>. The NEA also has tips for inspring kids to read all year long (click <a href="https://www.readacrossamerica.org/inspiring-kids-to-read/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a> to view) and a list of recommended books on different topics of diversity (click <b><a href="https://www.readacrossamerica.org/recommended-books/" target="_blank">HERE</a></b> to view).<br />
<br />
Since Seuss has been used for many years to celebrate this week, you may be at a loss as to how to incorporate the new theme of "Creating a Diverse Nation of Readers." But fear not! There are tons of ideas that educators all of the country have been putting together and sharing over social media. I have gathered a few of those ideas and have posted the links below.<br />

Our media center is set up so that students can easily browse for books that they want to read and are able to read independently. One of the sections in our media center houses our middle grade chapter books. In our media center, these are chapter books with older characters and may have more mature or intense content, and are therefore reserved for our 4th and 5th graders as policy set forth by our media committee several years ago.<br />

<br />
To make locating a book even easier, I use <a href="https://www.demco.com/demco-reg-book-stops-trade-section-markers" target="_blank">Demco book stops</a> to label the series, if we have at least 3 books in a series. Since I began using book stops, students are much more independent when they are looking for books, which helps when I am stuck behind the circulation desk.<br />

Middle Grade books are also given a neon green call number sticker to make them easy to locate and shelf.<br />

Our media center is set up so that students can easily browse for books that they want to read and are able to read independently. One of the sections in our media center houses our upper fiction chapter books, many just call these chapter books. These are books that are 150 or more pages and are usually a higher reading level. Students in our school typically start reading books in this section in late second grade to beginning of third.<br />
<br />

Our media center is set up so that students can easily browse for books that they want to read and are able to read independently. One of the sections in our media center houses our everybody chapter books, sometimes referred to as easy readers, early readers, easy chapter books or early chapter books. These are books that are marked for lower grade readers and are typically 100-ish pages or less. Many of these books have pictures that help tell the story (much like picture books), but are much longer than picture books.<br />

These books are placed on the shelf in alphabetical order by author's last name, but occasionally I will place them on top of the shelf on a smaller "spotlight" shelf and may eventually make their way to the Wildcat Favorites section. (see the post about Wildcat Favorites <b><a href="https://mrsnthebookbug.blogspot.com/2020/02/wildcat-favorites-our-favorite-series.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>)<br />
<br />
To make locating a book even easier, I use <a href="https://www.demco.com/demco-reg-book-stops-trade-section-markers" target="_blank">Demco book stops</a> to label the series, if we have at least 3 books in a series. Since I began using book stops, students are much more independent when they are looking for books, which helps when I am stuck behind the circulation desk.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Our media center is set up so that students can easily browse for books that they want to read and are able to read independently.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ayzxDpdHhps/XjH8UA-zWHI/AAAAAAAASZs/HHjZamZYq58jgoFnQYH2jGtSkA9weHBmACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/JW%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ayzxDpdHhps/XjH8UA-zWHI/AAAAAAAASZs/HHjZamZYq58jgoFnQYH2jGtSkA9weHBmACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/JW%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
One of the sections in our media center houses our picture books (both fiction and nonfiction) that are on a K and 1st grade reading level. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nNdZ5kLRxLw/XjH_l6mlXLI/AAAAAAAASaE/ZPgHXokaIqEFNMWthKmCOUT7B_XAmTF_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/double%2Bpawprint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nNdZ5kLRxLw/XjH_l6mlXLI/AAAAAAAASaE/ZPgHXokaIqEFNMWthKmCOUT7B_XAmTF_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/double%2Bpawprint.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
These are books that are marked with a large paw print (like our Wildcat Favorites) and then a small paw print on top. This section is where kindergarten begins browsing the shelves for the first time, but all grade levels still love to get books from this section. And why wouldn't they? These are the books that most likely got them to fall in love with books.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IgWG_0tiigQ/XjH-wxRGQEI/AAAAAAAASZ8/R6TvwB3qzLM6uOdAEM0TPRQwkKCHq4CZwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/spotlight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IgWG_0tiigQ/XjH-wxRGQEI/AAAAAAAASZ8/R6TvwB3qzLM6uOdAEM0TPRQwkKCHq4CZwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/spotlight.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
These books are placed on the shelf in alphabetical order by author's last name, but occasionally I will place them on top of the shelf on a smaller "spotlight" shelf and may eventually make their way to the Wildcat Favorites section. (see the post about Wildcat Favorites <b><a href="http://mrsnthebookbug.blogspot.com/2012/01/share-and-share-alike.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>)<br />
<br />
<br />

To make locating a book even easier, I use <b><a href="https://www.demco.com/demco-reg-book-stops-trade-section-markers" target="_blank">Demco book stops</a></b> to label the series, if we have at least 3 books in a series. Since I began using book stops, students are much more independent when they are looking for books, which helps when I am stuck behind the circulation desk.<br />
<br />
This is a current list of the fiction series books that are in the Junior Wildcat section in our media center:<br />
<br />
Fly Guy<br />
Biscuit<br />
Berenstain Bears<br />
Clifford<br />
Arthur<br />
Bad Kitty (picture books)<br />
Eric Carle<br />
Curious George<br />
Lllama Llama<br />
Mia<br />
Amelia Bedelia<br />
Pete the Cat<br />
Pigeon<br />
Margaret Hillert<br />
Little Critter<br />
Truck Town<br />
Spongebob<br />
Star Wars<br />
Seuss<br />
Elephant and Piggie<br />
<br />
What popular series do you have for your littles to read? Do you have a special section for those books?<br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YDcXWJOUbFA/XjIAT30h8HI/AAAAAAAASaM/n9Dm8tSUaxQJyR5WKs8-yo9gBsFlEz8TwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/WF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YDcXWJOUbFA/XjIAT30h8HI/AAAAAAAASaM/n9Dm8tSUaxQJyR5WKs8-yo9gBsFlEz8TwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/WF.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Since February is Love to Read Month, I thought I would share some of the series we have in our media center, beginning with our favorites. When I first started as a media specialist nine years ago, my friend and more experienced media specialist Mary Dean, gave me a suggestion that has been one of the best ideas as far as book access goes-create a favorite section. Her section is called gold star books and those books are labeled with a gold star on the spine, for easy shelving.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0sVq4AGtWBE/XjICN7tIyOI/AAAAAAAASaY/RUeENlIgiikyvWkWNgp5JyxFsvmc-LgHQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/wf2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0sVq4AGtWBE/XjICN7tIyOI/AAAAAAAASaY/RUeENlIgiikyvWkWNgp5JyxFsvmc-LgHQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/wf2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
In our media center, this section is the Wildcat Favorites and are labeled with a paw print sticker.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-epza-k21Dsc/XjIC3R_6RsI/AAAAAAAASag/pG_vsguRZvYk0eiySbJEcnN4U3kTSsA3ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/wf3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-epza-k21Dsc/XjIC3R_6RsI/AAAAAAAASag/pG_vsguRZvYk0eiySbJEcnN4U3kTSsA3ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/wf3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
When labeling the series, I try to place the paw print sticker at the top of the book, that way if the series is numbered, the number can go at the top of the book on top of the paw print. This is not always possible, as sometimes the sticker will block some of the title-which I hate. So in that case, the paw print sticker goes at the bottom. The color of the paw print doesn't matter.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g4GW_ptdeG0/XjIDdjGLtWI/AAAAAAAASao/bbbtgCtFAUMQDOqaa8fy5pt84qMiQTsCACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/wf4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g4GW_ptdeG0/XjIDdjGLtWI/AAAAAAAASao/bbbtgCtFAUMQDOqaa8fy5pt84qMiQTsCACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/wf4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Just like any section of a library, this section is fluid. Series that were in the Wildcat Favorites when I first started may not be there any more and as new series become popular, those get moved into this section as well. This is by far the most frequented section of the media center, and is usually where students head to first.<br />
<br />
So that all students have a fair opportunity to check out their favorites, students may only get one book from a series at a time. 1st-3rd can get one Wildcat Favorite and 4th-5th can get two. This is because 4th and 5th have a higher checkout limit as they don't have the time to visit the media center as often as the other grade levels.<br />
<br />
Currently these books are arranged from early chapter books, to upper fiction, to middle grade fiction in alphabetical order by series title. Here are the series that are currently located in the Wildcat Favorite section:<br />

Over the years, I've collected a lot of "bookish" tees. I thought I would share some of my favorite sites to purchase these fun tees from.<br />

<b><a href="https://outofprint.com/" target="_blank">Out of Print</a></b> is one of THE BEST sites to find "bookish" tees. They offer licensed tees of characters like <b><a href="https://outofprint.com/products/elephant-and-piggie-read-unisex-book-t-shirt?_pos=8&_sid=37ac2b3b4&_ss=r" target="_blank">Elephant and Piggie</a></b> and <b><a href="https://outofprint.com/collections/harry-potter/products/harry-potter-and-the-sorcerers-stone-womens-relaxed-fit-book-t-shirt" target="_blank">Harry Potte</a></b>r as well as a <b><a href="https://outofprint.com/collections/book-nerd" target="_blank">"book nerd"</a></b> collection and a <b><a href="https://outofprint.com/collections/library" target="_blank">library collection</a></b>.</div>

A fairly well-known place to order tees is <b><a href="https://www.cafepress.com/+librarian+womens-clothing" target="_blank">Cafe Press</a></b>. They offer a wide variety of designs and styles, but those styles don't stick around forever, so if you see something you like, you have to get it right then.</div>

Last year, I started celebrating Love to Read Month and created this fun pack to help with that. It includes bulletin board ideas as well as center ideas and signs. You can purchase it <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Love-to-Read-Month-Pack-4644460" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a> in my TpT store.</div>

<br />
<br />
<a href="https://gaetc.org/" target="_blank">GaETC19</a> was, as always, a fun time of learning and mingling with my media specialist peeps. There were some awesome presenters this year, and I left with tons of ideas to bring back to my school.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wNlMsQqpPeQPCqIKNicSMQvwhi4jINPH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="757" data-original-width="573" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mfvpPLdZzsA/XcnOGDlviII/AAAAAAAASSA/wAfRW_GLAtQQIFD_TmKPRYZJzIqoZfe9QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/makerspaces%2Bhandout.JPG" width="242" /></a></div>
<br />
I was also honored to present two sessions at this year's conference. The first session was one on MakerSpaces. If you were unable to attend or want to just relive the moment (LOL), you can download the handout <b><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wNlMsQqpPeQPCqIKNicSMQvwhi4jINPH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>. You will find a link to the presentation (view only mode) on page 4 of this handout.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vxfMCSf4H5-MgRcnghV_gwGKL2fUjPWl/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="857" data-original-width="645" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1To_PuLdKBM/XcnOvhNDbuI/AAAAAAAASSI/8XzM-YOEv748X3qFggLP6KU6RZr9V6RFgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/apps.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The second session was inspired by a blog post I wrote a few years ago about my favorite apps to use in the media center. You can read that blog post <b><a href="http://mrsnthebookbug.blogspot.com/2018/02/my-favorite-apps-for-media-center.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>. You can download the handout for this session <b><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vxfMCSf4H5-MgRcnghV_gwGKL2fUjPWl/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>. Again, you will find a link to the presentation (view only mode) on page 2 of this handout.<br />
<br />
If you attended either session, I would love for you to fill out the survey within the AttendeeHub app. This will give the conference planners information about how the sessions went. Thanks for leaving your feedback and thanks for attending one or both sessions. I hope that I will see you next year at GaETC20!<br />
