This summer is different that the others.... while I have New Teacher Orientation on my calendar, along with dates for Open House and First Day of School - the future really is unknown. By now, I should be getting excited about going back to work at the end of July, but I'm not. I can't make any plans because I have no idea what my role will be in this "new normal". Will students even be allowed to visit the Media Center?
I haven't been able to decorate my new space because it has become the staging area for Chromebook distribution. Which is totally fine. I am not upset about that at all. I guess I am just not used to having so many loose ends at this point in the summer. I have put together a resource document to share with my teachers and I will assemble "Pop by to Say Hi!" gift (microwave popcorn with a cute note attached - see image below) and that is about it.
I have been working on a Titlewave list of books that need to be added to the Media Center, so that has been fun! Moving to middle school means that most students have devices to read ebooks, so I am adding lots of them to our collection. I am also trying to figure out what needs to be added to my supply list.
Onward and upward!
