Final week of the class. It was a learning experience to help out in the library and to fulfill my hours for my practicum. I learne a lot about the functions and the daily duties of the LME at our school. People who think that she just sits there and checks out books are sadly mistaken. It is a non stop roller coaster ride that changes from one day to the next. I learned that she is given duties by the principal that hinder her upkeep and changes in the library, but she still manages to get it done. While there are things that I think that could change, it really boils down to a time and preference. She works hard by providing the students with great reading material and helps teachers track down books. She also wishes that there would be more time for collaboration in the classroom, but the high school schedule to not allow that to happen. Plus, we have a middle school in the same building so collaboration is really out of the question. She says she is lucky to help teachers get materials much less fully collaborate. She said that is the case in all of Jefferson County middle and high schools. In elementary, the library is used as a service period so that teachers can have a planning time. There is just not enought time. I thank her for her guidance and all the things she has helped me with on top of all of her other duties. Have a great holiday break! Peace
