 Hi all,Does anyone have a Monarch reading journal document that they wouldn't mind sharing? I would like to create a simple journal where students could fill out one page after every story we read together Zoom. It has been a while since I've done this, since in-person we don't usually have time! 
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
My school is starting tomorrow with full-time in person learning. In the past I have had 40 minute weekly dedicated periods with K-4 students. I spent 20 minutes reading or doing library skills instruction for them and then they would browse the stacks and check out books. This year I lost my library space as it is now an 8th grade classroom. I will need to be an "instacart" librarian delivering books to the classrooms. I am advocating that my time for K-2 be decreased to 20 mins as that is about as long as their attention span can take and then I will have more time to get back to the library with their "library orders" and fill those orders and deliver them later in the day.  My principal is trying to figure out how I could do just 20 instead of 40 min as my time with the class gives the teacher their lunch or a planning period. I am wondering if any of you are in a similar spot and how you are tackling this. One idea I had was to split the 40 min. period with the social worker who could do SEL with the kiddos in the 2nd half of the period.  
thanks,Linda

Hi Linda,
I am in a 2-5 building and we are doing in person instruction as well.  Our district pushed back our students' start time and made the first period of the day the plan for ALL teachers.  During specials, (PE, Art, Music and Library)  we are presenting remotely from our own spaces into the classroom via Google Meet.   The teacher's role is to "co-teach" during our lesson by providing tech support as needed and relaying student questions to us.  We went from 42 minute periods to 30. Last week was rough, but not impossible.  We are all certainly showing how flexible we can be! 
Due to our small "presenting" space, the size of our chromebooks ect, I am struggling to find the best way to read LIVE to students in way that's not weird or awkward.   Since I share my library, and I am never alone, I am unable to take off mask when reading a book to students.  Because of that limitation (and because our remote students do not attend specials synchronously)  I had already planned to pre-record my stories for students to either stream through the teachers' computers or directly on their own devices (still working that part out), but perhaps recording your read alouds ahead of time and scheduling those for the last part of class may help. I try to do a 20 minute literacy or tech lesson for the first part of class and end with the read aloud. I can also touch base with teachers to troubleshoot any tech issues they are having, at that time too.  
Good luck!

I normally have 45 min with K-5 classes. This year I’m on a cart for 30 min. I’m one week in to school and it’s not ideal. By the time I get set up in the classroom and help students place orders, I barely have time to read anything and definitely don’t have time for skills. I’m sure this will get better as time goes on, but 30 min. was too short. I can’t imagine only 20 min. My plan is for 3-8 to place holds and K-3 to use Seesaw to choose book topics. I am bringing a few books with me as well and students can choose from those as well. Any holds that are placed are filled the next morning.

 Robin, How would you be using SeeSaw for the K-3 book topic selection?  Do you mind sharing?

I created a book menu that I’m uploading in Seesaw. Then students circle what they want. If they want a specific book, they can type on the form with the text feature. I plan to change out the topics, popular characters, and authors throughout the year.

Hi all,
 
  
 
I’m sure some of you have already seen this, but I just wanted to share this amazing project from the School Librarians of Rhode Island, a section of the Rhode Island Library Association. They produced a 15-minute documentary-style video to share the value that school libraries play in their schools and communities. Please feel free to share widely!

Does anyone know when the Introduction to Monarch and Bluestem book presentations will be ready on the AISLE website?

If you have received it in error, please notify the sender immediately.Hello,I just found out that I have Seesaw accounts for my 8 K and 1st grade classes as well as 3 other misc. classes. I have 14 2-5 classes using Google Classroom. I am familiar with Google Classroom, but Seesaw is totally new to me. Thank goodness I sat in on a meeting last week with K-1 teachers. I did not know at the time it would be pushed out to me, so I listened, but not intently, while working on other things.
Someone shared on this list serve an email that I can't find about using Seesaw for book check out. Any specific directions and templates would be very helpful. I am supposed to start remote checkout a week from Wednesday and I am scrambling. Just to make things more complicated, I have a two week rotation, so I won't even being seeing some of my classes before I roll all this out!
Thanking you all in advance.

Any ideas?

Hi all,

 

I’m sure some of you have already seen this, but I just wanted to share this amazing project from the School Librarians of Rhode Island, a section of the Rhode Island Library Association. They produced a 15-minute documentary-style video to share the value that school libraries play in their schools and communities. Please feel free to share widely!

Thanks,

 

Dan

Hi Betsy,
 
Do you have SORA available? We linked our students’ public library cards to their SORA accounts and that gives them all the ebooks from the public library in addition to our SORA library. Our public library is great about having copies of the IL award nominees.

I am not sure how to do Bluestem this year.  Right now we are only doing ebooks and I don't have the budget to buy a lot of copies of the ebooks - Epic only has Finding Langston.  The books are really good this year, and I was on the committee picking them and making the resources, so I really want to push them with the kids.....
 
Hopefully by October we will do real book checkout, but meanwhile...
 
Any ideas?

 Thanks, Robin.  We don't have SORA. Our public library has Libby.com and our kids have that App on their iPads.  The public library is  also checking out books, so I guess the kids can get them there.  I think I won't introduce them until the beginning of Oct. though. By then maybe I will have things more figured out :)
