Day 11

On Tuesday, I was given the assignment of finding books that corresponded with an assignment on Mexico. I pulled many of the books and put them on the cart so that the students could look through them for their reports. I spoke with the Childhood Careers Instructor about the crafts for Story Time and finished some additional paperwork for the Veterans’ Day project. The Expository Writing class came into the library for a lesson on the First Search database. I taught the lesson and explained to them how to search, print and save their articles for future reference. They have to find 25 reputable sources for their topics. I finished the day by answering their questions and helping them.



Day 12

The Events Coordinator was available for discussion on the Veterans’ Day Project this morning. I spoke with her and got more information on the day and told her what the library was planning for the event. I also dropped off more craft projects to the Childhood Careers teacher, to be cut out for the Books and Babies program at the Public Library. The final hour was spent removing children’s books from the shelves and checking them in. They will all be returned to the Public Library within the next day. Eight of the Veterans’ Day banners were decorated by the book club after school and plans are in motion to have the banners completed by next week.
