Our book buying trip was utterly fantastic! We had so much fun looking at, talking about, and purchasing new books for our school library.
You will all be happy to know that we purchased all the new sequels for the many series that we have in our library. Want to know if we bought a long anticipated sequel? Just stop by and visit with me!
I am busy processing all the new books. I have laminated all the covers, cut them out, and taped them down; plus I have ordered Accelerated Reader tests for all the new books that have Accelerated Reader quizzes. I have put in new pockets and cards (but haven't filled out the cards yet) and I still need to enter all the books into our ascension book, put that data on the inside cover of each book, put spine labels on, and then enter each book into our ResourceMate library program. Whew!
I am hoping to fax in the Accelerated Reader order by Monday, October 12th which will have those tests here that week to enter into the system. I plan on having the books done by the week after that so all students can eagerly dive into a whole slew of fascinating new adventures!
On a side note, today, October 8, is my birthday! I want to thank all of the students, staff, and parents who wished me a Happy Birthday! You all really know how to make my day 'extra-special' and I appreciate you all so very much!
I am glad to see students still 'popping in' and posting to our blog! Great job!
Don't forget to feed the turtles, fish, and the hamster!
