I worked for two hours at Blue Ridge Elementary. Today I got to experience working on "fixed assets," an additional duty for the media specialist at this school. Part of this process involved going into three different storage locations and making note of surplus items, both equipment and furniture. Once items have been marked as surplus, the media specialist is required to send her excess inventory out to all fixed asset clerks so that schools can claim excess items that they might need. After five days of posting, the surplus is scheduled for pick up by the warehouse. Anything damaged is discarded by these same employees.
I also shelved books and we talked about plan for the book fair that begins on Monday. We also discussed the schedule for next week. Now that the students are rotating into the media center, the schedule and format for the book fair has to be altered. I plan to take one of my personal days on Monday to see how the first day of the book fair works and to go back each day from 2-4 to help since this week will be unusually hectic.
Our last item of business was the discussion of a "mythology" pathfinder and a list of possible additional in this area. The media center specialist feels that she needs additional resources in this area. I volunteered to do some research and to check the 5th grade standards to see what mythology standards are included.
