Continuing Booktalk Reading Enrichment Activity...
Today I was able to videotape the third student for the reading enrichment unit. This unit has required much more work than anticipated, but the learning curve is about over and I feel that if I were to undertake this project again - perhaps as an ongoing part of my media program- I would have this streamlined in no time. Discussion again occurred with the MS pertaining to the upcoming observed Practicum lesson. We have thrown back and forth a few ideas, but have yet to nail down and specific areas. One potential snag came when we both realized that the week of the observation was the main field trip week for all grade levels. Luckily, only 1/3 of the 8th grade classes will be gone during that week; therefore, leaving the remaining 2/3rds for my lesson. In addition to planning while at my practicum site, I continue to man the circulation desk, perform book-shelving and book-repair duties, and offer assistance to students.

I love my job! It is not even a 'true' job yet!
