http://essentialzen.blogspot.com/2009/08/are-you-looking-at-data.html
Words, wit, wisdom from our middle school library media learning team. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Are you looking at data? Take a look at the Library Media Program Data Wall we created last week! We are also tracking library media research class usage.

Essential Zen: June 2009
http://essentialzen.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Words, wit, wisdom from our middle school library media learning team. Friday, June 19, 2009. Reorganizing the Fiction Section. Okay, y'all can call me crazy if you want to. I have a student intern this summer, and we just had a discussion about marketing the fiction section. What works, what doesn't. Do we want to highlight certain books, topics, genres?

Essential Zen: Reading for Newbery
http://essentialzen.blogspot.com/2009/10/reading-for-newbery.html
Words, wit, wisdom from our middle school library media learning team. Saturday, October 24, 2009. As we move into late October, I'm feeling the crunch of leading my mock Newberians to great books of 2009. We have looked at so many books that I have not been able to keep up the reading. So for the homestretch, my gameplan is to focus on a short list of books that I know have potential. How do I do that? I read the SLJ blog to see what the hype is concerning certain titles:. What are you reading?

Words, wit, wisdom from our middle school library media learning team. Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Why Have a Book Fair? The fall book fair started yesterday, and I'm questioning why I REALLY do a book fair. I'm not a big fan of book fairs. Basically, I'm raising money for the book fair company, right? Yeah, yeah, I'm getting books into the hands of students, but they could have checked those out from us FOR FREE! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Why Have a Book Fair?

Words, wit, wisdom from our middle school library media learning team. Thursday, September 17, 2009. A bright spot in my day. As you probably know, SSR has been a focus of ours over the past couple of years. The SSR program got off to a great start this year! It made my day to hear this, and I hope SSR is having the same effect on students- increasing both the amount of time they spend reading and their reading enjoyment. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Essential Zen: May 2009
http://essentialzen.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Words, wit, wisdom from our middle school library media learning team. Friday, May 29, 2009. It's a wonderful feeling when teachers are excited to see you come down the hallways.
