This week I logged five hours in the Blue Ridge media center.
On Monday, I completed an inventory of the biography section: 870 books! It was interesting handling each of these books. What ran through my mind was becoming familiar with what resources were in the media center. Whenever I think about getting in a media center myself, I'm overwhelmed with trying to read all the books in the collection. Getting the chance to complete this inventory really gave me some time to think about this set of books.
Unfortunately, when we tried to upload the inventory to the computer a glitch occurred. However, when I went back today, the media specialist explained to me what happened and she showed me how the upload it supposed to work. I also talked to the media specialist about the school profile. I still need it to finish my grant proposal. We also discussed the media evaluation rubric and found that most of their media center is in the "proficient" level on most of the criteria.
I also had the chance to read a couple of Halloween books to a class of first graders. I had to take them outside because a group of teachers was using the media center to listen to a live presentation on Rocket Math. I got to experience firsthand the necessity of being flexible and accommodating.
