All I want for Christmas is a library..and I get it! Sort of…

On the last day of school before winter break, the second and third grade teachers will move from their rooms in the south wing and portables into the brand new East wing! The shifting out of rooms will leave one portable empty, to filled by as complete a library as I can make in a 30 x 25 (ish) rectangle! Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus. (Click onĀ  “Santa Claus” to read the famous story I’m referencing.)

So while my para, Mrs. Pratt and I have gotten great exercise walking from room to room throughout the school, we look forward to having our own space to simulate a library from January 2nd to the end of the year.

We will be in what is currently serving as Mrs. Corry’s second grade classroom and I have begun creating it in my head, and now we will just need to figure out how to prune my library collection by two thirds. Or maybe three-fourths.

And I will tell you more about the epic library media center that will exist at the beginning of next year as I get the details.
