Going to create a small, monthly display on more obscure and weird calendar celebrations that we can match with books (like National Puppy Day, World Noodle Day, International Asteriod Day, etc.).  Hoping it moves some non-fiction a bit in a fun way.

Plan to meet with English, WS, Science CSs this summer to get back on the schedule for teaching info lit skills

Weeded ALL my nonfiction this year, so will DAE and buy more fun nonfiction. No more "report" type books.

Offering a No Place for Hate (our ant-bias, equity program) summer reading list and projects that will be an optional part of the English summer reading assignment (open-ended READO board with various activities). We'll process in small group discussions in the fall.

Hold future multi-school virtual author visits on Professional days or early release afternoons so that all students may participate virtually. These were a big hit this year, I did one for my ELLs and 4 for Book Wars authors with other schools. 3/5 were free! John David Anderson has a new BES nominee and he will do visits for free if it's Q & A and he doesn't need to prep anything.

Does anyone have a good list of all the books (particularly part of a series) that we may have missed purchasing over the last year?

Was in the middle of genrefying when we left the building last March. Finished this project in December.

Had monthly contests and activities that students could complete virtually. This is something we usually do in-person as well, but was happy to be able to move the process to the virtual world. My Student Advisory Team was extremely active in these projects as well.

Trying to figure out what next year will look like in terms of media center orientation. Working on an interactive activity that could introduce the media center to the students both in a classroom and a media center setting.

# data[].attributes.body
The Student Advisory created virtual monthly spotlights this year and I would like to figure out how to translate this to physical bulletin boards in an engaging manner-maybe allowing for student participation during the month-making it interactive in some way?

We are having new carpet and tile installed in June.  Tile will replace the existing carpet in the classroom area.  I plan to turn this area into some sort of a Café space next school year where students can sign up and eat lunch and read, do an activity, etc.,  every day in the Media Center. This has always been a huge hit in the past, but the carpet was a concern.  Hopefully moving forward our LMC Café will happen just about every day.

Used the spring to genrefy fiction, but plan to move into nonfiction in the fall with an eye on promoting narrative nonfiction - creating a genre and physically moving it closer to the fiction section.

...in genrefying and weeding by developing programming where kids select a multi-genre book and choose which section it should go in as well as having them read rarely circulated books and having them write a recommendation or suggest we weed.

Which grades/subjects are getting new curriculum? And how can we better support? I know World Studies 6 is rolling out for the fall.

# data[].attributes.body
Since students are still assigned to their home schools, how do we make sure we're still providing equitable support to them. NMMS for one doesn't buy more than BrainPop extra.

And book check outs... similar to this year? Will we be able to add them to our Canvas classrooms?

I have ideas of how to begin, but just need a moment to get fully organized and start this process. Best practices and tips welcome!!

A walk through the standards without taking the class.  One that will allow up to align our standards with the middle school curriculum. To get a better idea of quick lessons and research projects.

Advisory board member created collections for books displays, and we advertised them.  Would like to do more of that.

To support student checkout we created a twoo book mobile carts with lights and different books every day.  The students and staff loved it!
