A School full of SUPERHEROES

Our Elementary school wide theme this year (2016-2017) is superheroes.  The halls are decorated, the superhero curtains are up and superheroes themselves are walking the halls.  So I decided to start the library off with the superhero theme as well.  We made a stand up superhero that students can stand behind to take their picture.

Each student was able to take their picture home, and we hung some on the wall with reminders of "Super Library Manners"
I started the year reading "Superheroes ABC's" and "Ten Rules of being a Superhero".  Students made superheroes out of tongue depressors and reviewed how to be a super friend in the library.

NEW BEGINNINGS AT CRETE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

This summer was a time for new beginnings at Crete Public Schools.  With our new high school opening this last January, the summer was a time to reorganized the rest of the buildings.  My role will be changing as I will be the school librarian at the K-2 Elementary Building in the mornings, and will be at the 3-5 Intermediate Building in the afternoons.  So my summer was spent sorting, organizing and preparing to split our libraries.

The Intermediate School was fortunate enough, to be able to purchase a entire start up collection of books (about 6,000).  We placed the order in February and the books arrived July 1st.  So most of the month of July was spent opening boxes and thinking about arranging the books in both building.

After hours and hours both libraries are arranged and ready for business.  I am looking forward to my new adventure as a school librarian in 2 amazing places!
