The library really is the go to place for all your needs. I just had a student ask me for a flathead screw driver to loosen something on his 3 hole punch. And I had one to loan!
Overheard in the library while checking out a class set of Persepolis, 1 student to another: "Oh! I thought the book you were all getting was called Syphilis!" Oh my. These kids. 😆
Yesterday one of the gr. 12 boys came in & I realized that I hadn't seen him yet this week and asked, "Where have you been?" He told me without missing a beat, "Narnia." Love these kids!
Why do students seem so nonplused when I tell them that "No. They library does not have any iPhone chargers. And, no, I don't have one they can borrow either."? Sheesh!
Yesterday I discovered that my advice actually helped a student. He had to read a novel & doesn't really enjoy reading. I had suggested that he borrow a copy of the audiobook and read along with it. He told me doing that made him feel like he was actually in the story! Success!
One of my grade 12s just asked if he could use my office in which to study for IB exams & when I said, "yes", he responded with, "Victory is mine!". Love these kids!
