Beginning the 2012-13 school year at Sycamore Park

The 2012-13 school year has officially begun in the Sycamore Park Elementary School library.  During the first 6 day cycle of classes, Miss Jennifer and I have seen every class, Pre-K through 5th.  After practicing procedures (to save time and maximize efficiency) for entering the story pit, we read The Library Dragon by Carmen Agra Deedy, illustrated by Michael P. White, and discussed how the library belongs to everyone who uses it.  



After discussing how we are all responsible for taking care of the library and making sure everyone, ourselves included, have a fun, successful library experience, every student signed a "link" promising to respect everyone and everything in the library.  We made a HUGE paper chain of these "links" and hung them all around the library.
