Hi, my name is Sherry Lancaster and I'm just completing my LMS =
certification this summer. I've been teaching for 14 years, but this =
coming year will be my first one in the library. However, due to =
scheduling conflicts between my graduate classes and the beginning of =
the school year, the district is hiring a sub, and giving me three weeks =
of release time to complete my classes. I fully expect to be asked to =
write lesson plans for this sub. =20
Ordinarily, this would not be a problem, but I am feeling a bit =
overwhelmed at writing k-5 lesson plans for a sub to follow for three =
weeks for a job I have never done myself. I don't know the collection, =
or the population yet. If I were beginning the year, I would focus on =
teaching procedures and doing "get acquainted" type activities. =
However, I don't know what the procedures were last year, and haven't =
had a chance to create any of my own yet. I also don't know how =
valuable "get acquainted" activities would be with a temporary sub.
I'm new to LM Net, but am amazed at the wonderful ideas and terrific =
resources contributed to this network. I'm hoping some of you have =
great ideas, or resources to help me create meaningful lesson plans in =
my absence. I will appreciate even broad guidelines to keep in mind as =
I search for ideas. Keep in mind, I don't know if this sub will be a =
librarian, or a college student! Many thanks in advance for any words =
of wisdom!
