I returned again, with enthusiasm to BRE.  This was one of few days when there wasn't a class rotating in, so the ladies had a chance to get some much needed work accomplished.  While there, I discussed my pleasure reading unit with the media specialist, my information literacy unit working with third grades teachers, and my ideas about a display highlighting GA writer Carmen Agra Deedy.  We discussed my reading to some first grade students next week and the necessary connection to their standards.  I also began physically going through the reference section looking for ways to bring this section up-to-date with much needed Atlases and Almanacs.  This section is also about 20+ years old and the media specialist hopes to purchase some much needed items.  I enjoy working on assignments that I know serve a purpose for myself but for this media center as well.  The enthusiasm of the youngsters who come into the media center to check out books is uplifting!
