So...I'm getting close to the end of my time in classes and I am starting to see so many great ideas for things to use in my library! I really want a fun atmosphere, wherever I work and trying to find the right ideas when I don't even know what age I will be teaching is a definite adventure. Right now, in my classes, I do a lot of planning for programs and budgets and collections that I haven't had the chance to put into practice yet. However, all this planning is leading me to great ideas I don't want to forget when I move to my own library.
For today, I was exploring a classroom management blog and for many school librarians, I'm sure you know, classroom management will definitely apply even inside the land of books. This idea was for a cut out I found as a freebie from this great blog :
Finding JOY in 6th Grade. The actual link to the cut out is a free print out with different messages from googledocs.
Googledoc Bloghop Freebie.
The grand idea I have with this cut out is to have stacks and stacks and to help students remember to return checked out materials. It is more of a reminder note and once typed or written could be delivered to teachers to pass out. I know that many schools have such a high number of students that this would be difficult each day or week to do but I would like to try it.
I think the idea of an in hand reminder for book return is a great tool. I know some libraries generate income from book fines and I'm sure there are students that can have every reminder possible and still forget but its worth a shot.
Now to get this to work, all I need is a reminder to write reminders. :)
Till next time....keep reading! :)
