Getting Ready 4 TRW12
Oct 10th, 2012 by Cathy Jo Nelson
My intern the other day shared with a colleague that she thinks she is more interested in an elementary setting than secondary. When asked why, she made the comment that there are more opportunities to have fun. What!!?? I think we have good opportunities to have fun at the high school, like celebrating literacy events such as Teen Read Week. She has more reasons for being interested in an elementary environment than good opportunities for fun, but I’m sure she will fit in nicely at whatever level she chooses. Next semester she will get a chance to intern in an elementary environment. We are enjoying what she is bringing into our program. We are gearing up for our Teen Read Week, and our kids are starting to buzz over the plans! I thought I’d share them here.
Looks fun to me!
I would agree with you that middle level and secondary level libraries are fantastic! Each level seems to bring its own wonderful element, and the passion you have for a specific age group can easily alter your feelings towards a certain “library level”. It looks like this library is doing fantastic things for Teen Reads Week and it must have been so much fun!
