Over the course of our final week at school, I offered my help to Diane in our library however and whenever I could for my remaining five hours. I assisted students using computers in the LMC; I helped Diane scan books for end of the year inventory (whenever Alex wasn't down :(... frustrating!); I helped track down overdue/missing books from students; I assisted with parents who came in to pay student fines.
I had to opportunity to meet with my principal to discuss a possible duty assignment in the library for me next year. He seemed open to this idea and told me he would consider this placement for me. Should I ever have the opportunity to become a teacher librarian in a WAWM school, this would be an excellent opportunity for me have regular contact with the daily happenings in the LMC at Hale.
MAY/JUNE 2010 -- 14 ELEMENTARY HOURS; 5 SECONDARY HOURS
RUNNING TOTAL -- 50 SECONDARY + 40 ELEMENTARY = 90 TOTAL HOURS

June 9 '10 -- 6 hrs
From 9:30 - 3:30, I spent the day with Mark Cohen, the LMS at Jefferson Elementary School. I jumped right in helping Mark work with students in the computer lab. They were using EduPlace and Think Math! which are great sites that I will probably introduce to my own children. Mark is the school's webmaster and very tech savvy. I also got to spend time with Mark Scheiber, the LMC from Walker Elementary who spends Wednesday mornings at Jefferson. This collaboration time is helpful, they both report, but the bouncing between schools is a challenge for Mark S.
Throughout my day at Jefferson, I helped with all classes in large group and individual student settings. I also pitched in with the weeding Mark C. was working on while completing inventory for the end of the year. It really was a full day, complete with a fire drill (very different at an elementary school versus my typical high school environment!) and a meeting of the safety cadets, whom Mark advises. We had a busy day that was great for me to experience the normal hustle and bustle of a day at Jefferson.
