This week students who received the "Librarian for the Day" auction item at Clinefest had the opportunity to help Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Ozburn. These students were called up to the front of the room to help teach the lesson. This week's lesson was about using shelf markers and keeping our library shelves 'green light' shelves. At the end of class these students were also responsible for running the computer during checkout time. I appreciated all of their help and I know now that we have many future librarians at Cline!

The students and staff of Cline were honored to welcome Red Grammer to Friendswood on Friday, January 29th. Students enjoyed a fun, engaging performance at school. That evening Red Grammer performed at Friendswood Junior High for the community. All who attended were in for a treat! Red Grammer's songs are uplifting and bring a positive message. Students were even invited up on stage to sing along. We are a bucket filling school and Red Grammer has been a great resource and example of what it means to live each day positively and be the best person you can be. Thank you Red Grammer for visiting Friendswood. Also, thank you to our PTO for hosting this event.
For the past week Mrs. Biela (our campus i-coach) and I have been teaching students about databases. We started our discussion with an explanation to students about WHY they should not be using google to research and why we encourage them to use one of the databases that we have provided them. It is very important when working with students in grade K-3 for them to find that 'just right' database for them. The second part of our lesson focused on showing students the ins and outs of each database. Last we handed students ipads and had them login to the appropriate database for them and spend 15 minutes exploring and becoming familiar with the database. For students in grade K-1 we explored PebbleGo. Students in grades 2-3 explored WorldBook Online. More information about these databases and others can be found under the Resources page.
Hello 2016! 2015 was a year of change in the Cline Library. Our dated library received a much need makeover. Heavy static furniture was swapped out for lightweight mobil pieces. In addition, the floor plan has been layed out to accommodate multiple classes and projects simultaneously. I am excited to use this blog to communicate the events and day to day operations of our school library. Before PicturesAfter Pictures |
