In preparation for our local Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) Day, November is the time for our annual bookmark competition. This week, entries were due. After all entries were in, my clerk and I scanned them into a Google Form and had teachers from other schools judge them. Then we calculated the winners, made cardstock, laminated copies of every entrant's work for them to keep, and made copies of the winning bookmark for each student in the school. It might not sound like a lot of work, but using a paper cutter to cut out 700 copies is taxing!
This week, we also received two huge books orders - one for the middle school and one for the high school. There's nothing I love better than the smell of a freshly printed book, so I had to take time to stop and smell the pages! These book orders were a difficult one to create, so its a bit of a relief to finally receive them. Moving forward, my principals only want books in our library that have Reading Counts quizzes, so finding books on Lexile for grades 6-12 with Reading Counts quizzes and of high interest for my students took a while. We processed all the books and shelved them within the space we recently freed up during The Great Weed of 2019. Additionally, The Lunch Crew finished their second StickTogether of the year!
