CCTC Standards 12, 13, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22



Ken had something to take care of this morning so I opened the library, supervised before school, checked out laptops and checked in/out books until almost 11:00. Ms. Garcia came in shortly after 8 am so I was not alone! I handled everything that came up, renewals, fines, delinquent status, etc.



After he arrived I took my Summer Reading Lists over to the Parent Center and shared them with the Community Reps. Ms. Sarmiento was thrilled to get them. There is a parent meeting next week and she said she would have them translated by then. I talked with a few parents who were eating lunch in the center and was amazed at the level of involvement of parents at ELC. There is a health clinic, ESL and parenting classes, and lots of opportunities to volunteer at the school. They, like everyone else at the school, were very welcoming.



Ken and I debriefed about my time at ELC for a long time. We revistited my self-diagnosed competancies. At the risk of sounding conceited, he said I am a "natural" in the library. I so hope that the economy improves next year so TLs, including me, can do our thing.



I ended my day reading to Ms. Platas' 1st graders again in their classroom. It was a blast.
