It'll Happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer library is a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just so excited. Last night, the PTA approved $675 in funding for my program. I am overwhelmed, truly.

End of the Year Craziness

Today we had our year-end Battle of the Books competition. It went really well, I think. The kids seemed to have a lot of fun, and they were good sports about it all. A few teachers decided yesterday that they did not like the schedule of BOB, and they attempted to change it very last-minute. I was SO irritated; this constant 'us vs. them' attitude is just exhausting. So some people jumped through hoops early this morning to create a schedule that made the teachers happier. I am rolling my eyes. In happy news, the library will be open this summer!!!! I am so excited!! I have to decide which day to hold open library and then get some information out there for the parents. Jeez, we have 2 1/2 days of school left. Plenty of time.

TESTING

Ugh...next year, the library will be used for online testing, which means it will be closed to everyone (even teachers) for the better part of three weeks. I know this happens in high schools all the time, but I am still trying to wrap my head around it. We have no other space that will hold a class of kids (no empty classrooms), so I'd better get used to this idea, unfortunately.
