My Day: Monday

I began my day by sending a Joanne Jacobs post (What is Arts Education) to our Art chairperson. I also sent environmental link recommendations to a science teacher: gas-drilling from ProPublica and a NYTimes series on Toxic Waters.

Returned a Kindle to our Special Education Office after loading some books on it for them to practice with.

Responded to a morning email by a parent to update (!) the menu on our school website. Updated it with Google calendar. Shrimp poppers, yum.

Z-imported a bunch of MARC records from the Library of Congress for new book arrivals. Got the books barcoded and the titles posted to our "new arrivals" listing.

Placed two Inter-Library Loan requests forteachers' aides.

Discussed a challenged book with administration.

Delivered a laptop and projector to the Guidance Office for tomorrow's MS assembly.

Pitched the use of Lulu.com to our English chairperson as a motivational tool for literary magazine-type publications. Showed her a sample publication.

Spent a few minutes reviewing features of Microsoft Publisher for tomorrow's Health class projects.

Broke out the chessboard when I found out that our exchange student was a player.
