THE ONE WHERE MS. O SPENT TOO MUCH $ AT THE TPT SALE


but is super ready to ROCK distance and hybrid learning.


Consider this like a haul post. That's a thing, right?
Hopefully it will not be as annoying to y'all as the emails and IG posts about
the sale, though. I KNOW, I don't need to be reminded twenty hundred eleven
times. Is that grouchy?





What can I say I liked the layout/colors/look of this one. I might edit/smash it
together with what I was working on in the previous post. Thanks, Funbrarian!







The silly thing is I ended up making mine look at lot like my real space. It is
a small rectangle with no windows. But I did use a couple things and now if I
wanted to design the most awesome space, it would be easier. Wouldn't have to do
all that png searching. Thanks, InOurLibrary! (Also did you know about Google
Slides recolor? I did not. Blonde wood turned cherry. Voila!)







So many good books. And so many neat activities that support the books and
standards. Easily adaptable to different grades. Thanks, Two Little Birds!







Once upon a time I would have wanted to design it all myself. But now? I'll
enjoy the headstart Mrs. ReaderPants gave me and tweak to my heart's content. So
much faster and more downtime for me!




Last but not least (by a long shot ... I got in on the first set the first BTS20
TPT sale) ...



So many good titles. Not just for kinder. So many lesson ideas (and FUN stuff)
that can be virtual or in person. Yes, it was an investment.  Between this and
the TwoLittleBirds and LearningLibrarian's PreK bundle ... well. Like I said.
Too much $. BUT if it is good stuff for kids and makes my life less stressful? I
AM THERE.Anyway, thanks to PrimaryScouts for this one!


Please don't do the math. I know it was overboard. This is not even all of it. 
I will keep you posted on how actual implementation goes. This week I've been
reading 





in honor of the movie release. Not even a book from all the lessons I got. HA!
What I would give for a pic of the days when I would go visit Ivan at the B&I.
Without the bad late 80s hair, mind you.




One day I'll get creative again. Thank YOU for sticking around and reading! For
now my energy is spent being virtual with the kids. When I get home it's reading
or TV time. ME time. A little blogging time. and actually should add exercising
back into that, too, but baby steps.

DIGITAL ORGANIZATION


Mind helping me think something through? Who uses like a digital agenda with
learning targets and maybe timers projected up on the board for different
things.


If I leave it til school is actually in f2f session it won't get done so I
wanted to get a head start.
The learning targets ... I'm not going to pretend I did all the work of double
checking everything against CC standards or in my case TEKS. The video shows the
entire thing so far and the screen capture shows the targets I have.
When it's done it will be Google Slides. The pictures won't move but the targets
will be drag and drop and/or you can pull in a timer from YouTube.













It's to update this because honestly that one I haven't changed since I posted
it like two and a half years ago. I only ever started putting stuff there
because it helped recoup some of what I spent. Deciding on whether to keep that
up, too. I don't know how some of y'all do it running super awesome programs and
blogging and IGing and sort of semi side business self promoting. It's
overwhelmed me the last couple years and I don't even have kids. There will be a
lot of revamping, though, for distance learning. We know we are doing that for
the first three weeks and that is all we know. Hence my organizational binge
(just wait, more pictures to come) trying to control what I can. Hello dumb ol'
anxiety. Hope you are feeling as calm and ready as you can be! Let me know if
you have any ideas/suggestions?

WHEN IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE YOU LAST BLOGGED YOU FORGOT HOW TO CREATE A NEW
POST



*taps on mic to Internet* "Is this thing on?"

So. I started this blog when I came back from the BYU Books for Young Readers
symposium TEN YEARS AGO. And funny that this is the first year I've been able to
experience it again. They went virtual because, well ... you know.

If you're on IG you've seen these. So far it's been SO FUN. Kate DiCamillo's
keynote was awesome and so was Guy Francis'. Then they also have posted
booktalks and a little tour of the Provo Library's Attic gallery space.






Tomorrow they will release Candace Fleming's presentation.
You can see the schedule here at this link. It's not free but it's SO worth it.
And you'll hear about the books in the booktalks because I am looking for them!
They mentioned some new ones I didn't know! Had a couple years there with no
budget. Y'all that have dealt with that for a long time ... power to you. It's
hard.

When they can meet in real life it's in Provo, UT. This is yet another reason I
know I'm old cause this was run down and abandoned when I was in college in the
area. I remember my humanities class offered a guided tour at the time and they
talked about Philo Farnsworth testing there. That was back when it was the BY
Academy and even more years ago than my college residency!
They obviously put in a lot of restoration effort. The pic will take you to
their website.




So. Last year I spent a lot of time sick. Like ... a lot. Coughing and coughing
and coughing and fever and pneumonia. And that was before the world went crazy
and we had ever heard of this novel virus. Here's hoping to more interesting and
worthy of posting content in the year ahead. Will probably still be more on IG
but I'll be here, too. Reflection is good for the craft, right?

We're starting our year with 3 weeks of remote instruction. They finally
finished off the walls over spring break so going back next week will really be
the first time (I popped in a couple times over the spring quarantine but never
spent more than an hour or two) I've been there. It's ironic that we have less
ventilation NOW (no windows, center of the school, and the HVAC leaked for
years) but you know. Whatever. The construction on my commute has made a lot of
progress. Still a long drive but not quite as slow.

LOVELY EMAILS ON FRIDAY THE 13TH


So how was your Friday the 13th? Crazy or calm? I had to borrow the nurse's
office for a nebulizer treatment since I don't have an office and I didn't want
kiddos walking in wondering what on earth Ms. O was doing. DUMB ALLERGIES.
Before the last year or two I wouldn't have known what I was doing. Anyway.

I hope ... internet, if you have never received an email like this, know that I
see you. I hear you. It has been quite some time since anything like this was
ever heard on my campus. That's why I had to share it. It might take a while. A
good, loooooooooooooooooooong while. But eventually it comes.

BE YOU


Rant ahead.
I'm getting a little ... over the "girls don't like Star Wars" "kids don't like
Star Wars" thing. Had several interactions the past week and I really am OVER
IT.

1) Many of them DO in fact like Star Wars.

2) You know what? They don't have to. That's not really why I have some signs
and I share things in the library. It's because it's part of me and the kids see
that and they appreciate THAT, even if they don't happen to love Star Wars and
prefer My Little Pony or Five Nights at Freddys. They connect that their teacher
librarian has a passion and they know what it is. They draw me pictures and tell
me about when they watched the movies with their families.

Take down the Rey that is in the window (specifically BECAUSE people stand right
there and hold loud discussions and the walls don't go all the way up to the
ceiling and we can hear every word so yes. She is looking at you). Don't have a
cutesy Yoda doodle they color after finishing tasks on a Read You Must promo.
Argh.

They also know I love Harry Potter. And Mo Willems. And them.
























Rant over.

#IMWAYR ON TUESDAY SOME OF MY SUMMER READS





It's (almost) Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book
Date. It is a great way to recap what you read and/or reviewed the previous week
and to plan out your reading and reviews for the upcoming week. It's also a
great chance to see what others are reading right now… who knows, you might
discover that next “must read” book!
Our Kid Lit to YA version is hosted by Teach Mentor Texts and Unleashing
Readers.




It has been a long time since I got around to participating in It's Monday What
Are You Reading.



partial Goodreads list



That's some of them from this summer. It almost feels cheesy to have enjoyed
Atomic Habits so much (FICTION FOREVER!!!!) but it was so good. 132 Kindle
highlights gives you an idea.




Winterhouse #1 has some issues but ... I still really want to know what happens
next so I need to find book 2.

Archimancy is brand new I feel kind of the same ... it has a few, to steal a
phrase from the Deck the Hallmark podcast WAIT WHATS but still, on the whole, I
REALLY want to know what happens next. I got to read an early copy from
Netgalley or Edelweiss. One of the two. So it will be a while before the next
one is done. The Thickety was super fun. Archimancy I think could be read by
younger kiddos than The Thickety.

Any time there is a Bruce book I am there! I sent the new board book to my
nephew but he lives far away so I haven't seen it. :(

We Are the Gardners is lovely ... but do kids like it?

You can see more specifics on other titles on Goodreads. Hopefully I am back in
the saddle. Seriously, I started blogging forever ago and that was what it was
for. To document my books!

Tomorrow I go back on contract. Kids don't go back to school until the 19th but
we go tomorrow. So my two focuses will be the audio that FINALLY came back in
(it ran out last time before I finished it!)



and this one. Yes. Inspired by Shark Week.
