In teacher meetings all week long, and trying to get our library in shape for students in the extra minutes during the day! I haven’t had much time to read my usual blogs or even think about my own blog.

This year I will have a new paraprofessional working with me, a friend from the school community that I’ve known for several years–great choice, I think. (Although I will miss my old para–she was great fun to be around and work with) Anyway, it should be a good thing, but transition is always difficult. It’s a good time to reflect on practices in the library and how I can set a framework that is good for her to work in–with clear expectations and enough support–one that also works for me so I can concentrate on the teaching tasks. Team building–it’s an exciting time, but it’s also a big job.
