CRazY!

This week and last week have been very crazy weeks for me!

Last week I attended the Iowa Core Curriculum meeting called Shift Control. It's an on-going conference that focuses on moving into the 21st century with technology to increase learning opportunities. What's really great about the sessions is that the schools that are attending each send a team whose members include an administrator, IT person, classroom teacher and a teacher-librarian. There are about 55 people who get together for these meetings. We are working with Dr. Scott McLeod and CASTLE of ISU. It makes for a long day, but I learned so much! Ask me about it!!!!

This week I attended the annual ICN book talks sponsored by AEA 267. We meet with other teacher-librarians, public librarians, and library aides from both school and public libraries to hear reader views on recommended new books available to our readers. In the afternoon I travelled to Clear Lake and met with other teacher-librarians to be experience using etherpad and the new adobe connect pro.

Add the early out for wind and the days fly by! This week I would have met with Mrs. Zuehl's 3rd grade on Tuesday. Today, Thursday, I meet with Mrs. Brun's 3rd grade. We will work in the computer lab using the Internet to find info on sharks.

Next week I will meet with Mrs. Geelan's Kindergarten and Mrs. Glawe's 2nd grade on Monday and Mrs. Zuehl's 3rd grade on Wednesday.

Until next week, keep reading!
Mrs. Reiter, Teacher-Librarian
