The "Waiting Game" is over. I am now the media specialist for our school. Although the previous media specialist tried to convince me that she wears tiny shoes, I know that I have some big shoes to fill. I am so excited, but nervous because there are so many things to learn.
I have been trying to get rid of stuff and pack up for the big move. I can't believe that I kept some bulletin boards, but didn't have pictures of them. I'm sure that I took pictures, but they must have been saved on our old, discarded desktops. Here's one of the bulletin boards that I kept.
Since I'll be the media specialist, I'll be integrating math, science, and social studies with the stories that I'll read.
Tops and Bottoms made our plant unit really fun, when I did it about three years ago. The students labeled the vegetable parts, made a graph, and wrote about their favorite plant parts to eat. I was able to save the bulletin board, because it was done in three different sections. I have already started "pinning" ideas to use as a media specialist.
Now,
what would be a good title for my blog? I will mostly blog about and share examples of how I integrate different subjects with popular children's stories. I will also blog about how the students use technology for some of the activities. I don't want to change the blog address, because I've done that before, and lost several followers. I'm open for suggestions about a title and post ideas.
