Re: ELEM: especially fixed schedule:how do you keep track of lessons taught

[Kathy Mladenich <klibrary@HARBORNET.COM>]

I keep a file folder for each classrrom. I try really hard - sometimes I
miss - but I try really hard to write down the date and what took place on
that visit. Sometimes I add special issues that come up that might need to
be addressed on the next visit. For example a kindergarten teacher shared
with me that one little boy declared that he will "never" check out a book
and it has become a challange that he will use the library and check out a
book. Then she left the library so...I needed to remember that for the next
time - so I wrote it down in the "journal" (for lack of a better term) for
the class for that day. I could drag you through other issues that I have
logged in the classroom "journal" but I think you have the idea that I'm
trying to pass on. I have tried various methods and end up spending too much
time writing down a plan that doesn't happen. I plan - but I write down what
really takes place and that is what I refer to before the class comes in the
next week.

Good luck - I've been reading this list for a few years now and I don't
remember a question quite like this before.

> Okay, I have a notebook with a page for each teacher, but is there a
better (no, not the best, but the quickest and easiest)way to keep track of
what is taught, for example, I was going to teach all the 4th grades this
week a note-taking lesson, some for science, some for social studies. To
make a long story short, I did not do it with the 4th grade today, but did a
Caldecott lesson with the books Snowflake Bentley and Snow crystals. (which
we are doing  with K-2 this week and with 3rd and 4th later in the month)
What is the easiest way to remember I did not do note-taking with this
class, but did do Caldecott?
