Help! Starting Jan. 7, I am going to be the new librarian at a local
K-5 school (I'm transferring from high school). I'll have about 800
students, no assistant, but apparently there are some great parent
volunteers and a very active PTA. I will be the 3rd librarian
(actually 4th counting the sub who's been there since they lost their
old new librarian). I'll be seeing one class each, K-5 daily on a
rotating schedule, 1st week is 15-minute checkout, 2nd week is a 40-
minute lesson. There is also some open access time for small
groups. I know I'll have my hands full and am in search of ideas for
lesson plans and/or ideas on quick ways to get to know my students
and teachers while also getting to know my collection. I haven't
yet searched the archives, but plan to during the break--just don't
know what search terms to use. I am particularly interested in any
ideas on how to figure out where my new students are in terms of
information literacy, and how I might determine that at these
different levels. Any words of wisdom you might be willing to share,
or ideas or even lesson plans will be much appreciated. As always,
I'll be happy to post a hit.
