Yesterday morning, the library was filled with the rolling sound of pallet wheels, the crinkling and tearing of unwrapping, the stacking of chairs, whirring power screwdrivers, the thud of heavy furniture gently hitting the carpeted floor.
Three hours and many mini discussions about placement later, our updated library was tentatively in order.
This is just phase two; phase three will involve moving wall and floor shelves, rearranging the flat panel and tables, and painting the walls of the main space--and hopefully a mural!
Our technology support teacher and I learned last Thursday that we will be covering the music teacher time slot until we have that position filled. We do not have to teach music, thank goodness--the students would get tired of singing, my only instrument! It does mean that for the first time in ten years, I will have students in the library on the first day of school for half the day, without their classroom teachers present. So this space needs to be cleaned up, pronto!
Here's wishing a bright and successful school opening for all my fellow educators.
Your slice is a reminder of how flexible teachers are. New furniture and music in the library....keep breathing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so inviting and flexible! Best of luck for a joyous new school year.
ReplyDeleteLooking good. Love Ya, Dad.
ReplyDeleteChris, the library looks amazing and it makes me happy to see all the colorful fun spaces. Enjoy your time as librarian. I'm so glad you didn't get shifted into a classroom, at least. Here's to a music teacher coming soon!
