The Calm Between the Storms

There has not been much action in the library today other than the usual group of students who like to hang out in here watching videos on their cellphones and playing Yu-gi-oh cards. It makes up for yesterday afternoon when the after school students were making a lot of noise out in the halls, wandering in and out of here because they had left their backpacks. A couple girls came in 3 times supposedly looking for a textbook, Each time, I told them I didn't have a copy. Lots of drama, and I eventually closed the library door because I was working and was afraid students might be visiting backpacks of other students. A fair amount of thievery goes on in the library.

Today I prepared for tomorrow's Professional Development, looking for some websites to make into a webpage about Shakespeare and his world. I signed up for a free account on TeachersFirst, which has some interesting lesson plans and a section on Web 2.0 for the classroom. Now I'm continuing to catalog books in preparation for making spine labels for them. I want to clear this office out this year, and house a Professional Development section of books for teachers in here.

I went window shopping for Shakespeare materials, and saw some good graphic novels put out by Barrons and Classic Comics. I'd love to have some money for those.
