Library

Today was pretty simple. Even slow at times! I was subbing for the afternoon in the library and for the most part I had very little to do. I started my afternoon by re-shelving books. Then I perused the book fair while I waited for the next class to arrive. When they came we watched a short video about the book fair, then played with an online site that lets you "carve" a pumpkin and experimented with MS Paint. The class then got to check out books before their teacher picked them up.

Shortly after this the teacher I'm subbing for tomorrow came by and took me down to her room to look at the plans for tomorrow (lots of apple activities are in store!) When I came back to the library a 4th grade class was in the computer lab with their teacher doing some reading test. They pretty much didn't need me.

At the end of the school day I spent about 45 minutes supervising the book fair. Parent helpers run the check out and such, so I was just wandering around seeing if any kids needed help finding things. I even convinced myself to buy a book (I know, this is not a terribly hard thing to do!) The parents running it even gave me the 20% off that teachers get! They were both super nice - they knew I was a sub, so they really didn't have to give me the discount, but I thought it was nice they did. So nice that I ended up buying two books instead!

Rhonda: I thought of your boys a lot today because there were a bunch of Star Wars books at the book fair! :)

They do love Star Wars. And they share your love of buying books. Especially Tith. As soon as he saves up some money he wants to go shopping for books. Glad you had a good day. Hope all the apple activities today are a hit.
Hugs, Rhonda

It sounds like it was a pretty relaxed afternoon. That's nice they gave you the discount and how nice you were able to find two books you needed.:) Nice way to spend an afternoon and get paid.
Love you!!! MOM
