My Command Central

February 1, 2019January 23, 2019 sewaldroLeave a comment

Just a quick one to show another one of my organization stations, my command central if you will. I got the vertical file holder last year from Amazon. I have the folders labeled with the days of the week since I see my classes on a Monday-Friday schedule. Inside each folder, I keep the class… Continue reading My Command Central

Reading Resolutions & the Read Harder Challenge

January 23, 2019 sewaldroLeave a comment

Earlier in the year, I saw another librarian post on Instagram that they were having their students create reading goals for the year. I loved the idea and thought it would pair great with an introduction to our new Snapshot Wall where I had a spot for my reading goals. But…somehow it was suddenly December… Continue reading Reading Resolutions & the Read Harder Challenge

I know Christmas is over and by the time we go back to school it will be January but he’s just too cute not to mention-maybe someone will remember this come next year and try out a Dawson… Continue reading Introducing Dawson the Deer!

Oh man guys! This was a good one! Kids loved, the teachers loved it, my principal even popped in was impressed! So what are we waiting for, let’s dive into the details! This all started when I asked the 4th grade team if they’d like to do some kind of poetry tasing to kick of… Continue reading Welcome to the Buccaneer Bistro and Poetry Cafe

Bulletin Board Update-Winter Edition!

December 14, 2018December 27, 2018 sewaldroLeave a comment

It’s time to say goodbye to our turkey and hello to my clerk’s winter-themed bulletin board! I love how she made it 3-dimensional. I also love that once again, she’s made it a participatory bulletin board. This time, she cut out a bunch of snowflakes and is asking people to write their favorite book on… Continue reading Bulletin Board Update-Winter Edition!

Note Taking Lessons for the Primary Set

November 23, 2018December 27, 2018 sewaldroLeave a comment

Earlier this month, I was discussion with our 3rd grade team how they wanted to tackle their annual Christmas around the world unit when one of them expressed concern with their students’ abilities to digest information and take notes. That particular teacher asked if we could try teaming up to do an intensive unit on… Continue reading Note Taking Lessons for the Primary Set

1/2 Days Are the Longest Days…

November 21, 2018December 27, 2018 sewaldroLeave a comment

I don’t know about you, but sometimes, I struggle with planning my November lessons. I mean, between Veterans day, Thanksgiving break, a Superintendent’s day and, Parent/Teacher conference days, I think we’re in session for 15 whole days the entire month! And that’s if we don’t end up with any snow days, 2 hour delays or… Continue reading 1/2 Days Are the Longest Days…

Just a quick one today! My clerk found a cute idea for our November bulletin board (have I mentioned how much I LOVE having a full time clerk again this year?!?!): She sketched the turkey out by hand, can you believe it? Since I color coded my grade levels in my planner and on my… Continue reading Thankfulness Feathers

Halloween Campfire Time

November 1, 2018December 27, 2018 sewaldroLeave a comment

Halloween wasn’t my favorite holiday as a kid but as a school librarian I kind of love it! One of the reasons it’s crept to the top of my holiday list now that I work in a school? Three words: Halloween Costume Parade. I mean, that’s just the best and cutest thing that happens all… Continue reading Halloween Campfire Time

Off We Go to Archeology Camp!

October 20, 2018December 27, 2018 sewaldro2 Comments

I was approached by one of our 6th grade teachers wondering if I had any ideas on how she could liven up their unit on prehistory and early man. After some looking around for ideas and sharing back and forth, we landed on the idea of doing an Junior Archeology “Camp” for one of the… Continue reading Off We Go to Archeology Camp!

A Little Birdie Told Me….

What do you get when you combine persistence urging from a colleague and a dash of guilt over all the conferences you’ve attended on grants without ever presenting at one? A booked weekend and very little free time over the next week as I create and refine my first ever presentation proposal. Gulp. 🥴 #ssl20 #leadoutloud #cnysl #youshouldtotallydoittoo
Realized a childhood dream yesterday after #aasl19 wrapped and I hit the infamous #churchilldowns with some fantastic friends. And if you’re looking for a gift idea for me, I’ve got you covered in that last slide 🤣.
Our hotel is very bookish (that’s an enlarged pic of book spines behind our beds), the murals are very fun, and the swag has been pretty sweet (love this bag-only downside is it’s too small to fit all the free books we’ve gotten already!!!). Now I really do have to narrow down my conference selections for #aasl19 tomorrow!
When your #aasl19 flight is earlier than scheduled and your conference buddy’s flight is going to be later than scheduled, you get your caffeine fix and 1st souvenir while you wait 🤣 And yes I stole this idea from @jennlagarde. And like most of her ideas my one regret is that I didn’t steal it sooner!
3 hour layovers are for catching up on some reading. One more flight and I’ll be finally be at #aasl19
Looking out the airport window and this is NOT what United has ready for me to take to #aasl19 but I’m somehow managing to be pretty excited for the conference anyway 😂
