Flexibility...

That seems to be the name of the game. Ann (my principal) called me about 6:15 A.M. and asked if I could go ahead and work in the Library until the sub gets there. (If you remember, I already had a sub scheduled for today as I had planned on being in Madison) The sub had to teach in a 2nd grade classroom until the teacher could arrive...who had to wait until her kids got off to school...since their district had a 2-hour delay! Sound confusing? Well, it all worked out okay. After explaining procedures to the sub, I finally got over to Parkside in time to have lunch with Sally. We had a chance to visit a bit, but after lunch she let me look through her library resources & teacher resource books to see what ones I might be able to use! That is appreciated! I worked on cataloging (while she was involved with the Spelling Bee contest (held in the library). We talked about some budget & curriculum issues, as well as the possiblity of her position being cut after she retires at the end of next year. (that would NOT be a good thing at all!)

After school I went back over to Riverview and worked on cataloging until 8:15! I was able to get 70 books and 3 DVD's finished and the labels run. Now, if I can get my assistant to put them on & tape them Wed. it would be great! So...my day turned out differently than planned, but it ended up just fine. It keeps me on my toes.
