Sad Times

My mother-in-law passed away this past weekend. Cancer took her in about 6 months once we realized she had that dreaded disease. She was 78 and a gem. I hope she is in heaven visiting her family members, including her husband and my husband who both died of heart attacks way too young. The only good thing about funerals is seeing people you haven't seen for a long time...and knowing your loved one is not in pain anymore.

Whirlwind

Well, we've been in school over a week and I feel so far behind. Some of our technologies weren't working at school, so we gradually are getting up to speed. Librarians are rolling out the new login, TSF, and email systems but just getting everyone's password for the Social Studies classes was a chore. Twenty-five different teachers teach Social Studies at North Middle! Wow! My assistant is helping to get AR classes set up and transferred into the STAR reading program. I have so many sticky notes to fix or work on things that I can't count them all....

Back to School 2010

It's time for a move across town and a change in libraries. This year I will be the librarian at North Middle! I've been settling in to my office and starting training on all the new changes with the district this year!
