I can't wait to get this book in the library!!!!!

When a plan comes together

I love it when students flock to the book display and empty it out! I now have to make a new one....O' the troubles of being a Teacher Librarian!

Books Disppearing!

As you can see even more books have disappeared from the display...Now I have to come up with another display and soon! Love it when technology and "the old way" can work together!

QR code display

I had to hurry and take a picture of this display because the students were excited about getting a book from it. As you can see there are some books all ready missing. 

Friday in the Library

Games, math and reading a book...Oh were the technology will take you.

Nook and a laptop...Which do you perfer?

Elise working on her Spanish project with Ms. Martin aka Spanish teacher close by to answer any questions.

Math homework, organizing a portfolio or just relaxing playing a game a few minutes before the bell rings.

Book Fair

The Scholastic Book Fair is here! What a wonderful selection of books and other fun products.

 

Before they were movies...

This bulletin board has received rave reviews!  I have QR codes linked to the movie trailers.  You can't believe all the phones, iPods, iPads out scanning the QR codes to see what they link to.

A visit from Spot

 Had a wonderful day with Spot the Dog.  Spot has fans from the high school to the elementary.  Spot even assisted Ms. Cheryl trasport food the the elementary cafeteria. 
Thanks to Beth from Barnes & Noble Crossroads store for making this visit happen. 
What a fun day of reading!

Online Classes

Taylor and Alex, study buddies for college online classes.  Get some of those core classes out of the way before high school graduation.

Quiet Morning

It was a quiet morning in the library.  Savanna reading upside down in the "comfy chair" and Colton doing homework.  What a way to start a day!

Book Fair Time!!!!

Just finished the display for the Scholastic Book Fair!  We will be holding the Book Fair in the high school library.  Our hours will be Monday & Tuesday 7:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m and Wednesday and Thursday from 7:30 a.m.-8:00 p.m.  I hope you can stop by and shop!

Charging Station NOW OPEN!

The charging station in the library is NOW OPEN!  If you are in need of charging your computer, iPad, iPod or phone stop by the library and CHARGE IT!!!

Brain time!

Shelby studying for her Anatomy test about the BRAIN....with Mozart playing quietly in the background.  TC library is the place to be!

Lip Dub

We had a school wide lip dub recording session today.  All of the students in the high school participated.
 Several weeks ago students voted on the song they wanted to lip dub for the school's Anti Bully video.  The votes were counted and the winning song is......Who Says by Selena Gomez.
Today the students weaved in and out of classrooms, the cafeteria and the library.  Once the recording was done everyone congregated in the gym for the final shot.
 Here is the wonderful group of young people I worked with. 

Stay tuned for the video in the next few days.

Thanks to all the 8th grade students for your patience today in Mrs. Chemelka's class when learning how to access your 365 account.  You all did a FANTASTIC job!  I love working with you!

I love it when high school students who are taking online college courses find it better to study in the library instead of going home. Here are just a few of my darlings who come in a do their studying in the library.
