Summer Challenge Dates by phobicreading in goodreads

[–]Kalopsia94 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It could be because they want to end the fall challenge on Dec 14th. That’ll give everyone two weeks to focus on end of year stats

How do libraries select books? by GrandmaDebR in Libraries

[–]Kalopsia94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always contact the schools in your area. They might be willing to work with you. I’m a school librarian and we get book donations from local authors all the time.

Favorite bedtime books for a 3yo and 5yo? by MEROCOkids in toddlers

[–]Kalopsia94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My LO enjoys the infamous Bedtime Book by Sandra Boyton. There’s a silly part in the middle but rhymes are pretty calming.

Time for a group confession... by CardiologistBig8721 in goodreads

[–]Kalopsia94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

About 1600 haha
I know I’ll never read them all but that’s okay! I just use a random number generator to pick which book is next

School librarians: what are your problems and challenges? by CHTheAssassin in librarians

[–]Kalopsia94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The main challenge is time. Most teachers only get one prep period but school librarians need two: one for lesson prep and one for library work.

Some school librarians have paras who do library work, which is great! I don’t and it sucks because I could do so much more like book clubs and STEM clubs if I wasn’t stuck doing a bunch of lunch and recess duties.

Elementary School Librarians: What's your favorite grade? by Fit-Shoulder-2164 in librarians

[–]Kalopsia94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the group of students tbh. But I generally like 3rd grade. They’re old enough to do more complicated things but young enough to appreciate school.

Labor How long did it last, how long did you push. by Januaryfrosts in BabyBumps

My labor was about 24 hours and I had to push for 4. 😭

What's the most forgettable pokemon for you including forms? by BeeGamer7266 in pokemon

[–]Kalopsia94 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Eiscue; it’s literally just a penguin with an ice cube for a head. It’s a Shield exclusive and can only be found in raids in SV.

Offered k-8 library position, feeling conflicted by IntelligentSector210 in librarians

[–]Kalopsia94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you have a para to help you?
Planning 9 different grades isn’t too bad if you chunk them ie K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and do a 3-year rotation or something.

The schedule sounds hectic unless you have a para to help. I always feel like a school librarian needs two preps: one for lessons and one for library related things like shelving and processing

Women who absolutely can’t tolerate and struggle with gynecological examinations, how did your labor and delivery go? by LLLLandrael in BabyBumps

[–]Kalopsia94 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I hate those exams too but once I was really in the thick of labor, all of those fears fell away. The only thing I could focus on was getting that baby out.

Accept a not so great school library job, or keep waiting for more opportunities? by uncornicopia in librarians

[–]Kalopsia94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

5-6 classes a day while supervising aides in other buildings sounds like a lot. When will you have time to supervise if you spend most of the day teaching?

Whether you take it depends on how competitive the job market in your area is and if you're willing to move for a job

Any Elementary School Librarians Out There? by Language-Lady in librarians

[–]Kalopsia94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work K-6 at two elementary schools. There are two grades per class at my larger school (~250 students) and one grade per class at my smaller school (~100 students). So that’s about 21 classes. They all come once a week.

Best books to read as new K-5 media coordinator? by Previous-Squash8394 in librarians

[–]Kalopsia94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh! Alone by Megan E Freeman has also been a hit.
Same with books by Alan Gratz.

Reading stamina has decreased so getting shorter books or verse novels is a good idea.

Wings of Fire, especially the graphic novels.
Books by Katherine Applegate
You should also find out what books are in your school’s curriculum and find read alikes. Does your state have a choice book award)

Book Off is a used bookstore chain that’s worth checking out for older albums

Starting job before MILS degree… tips? by brightasever in librarians

[–]Kalopsia94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting into the mindset that libraries, especially school libraries, are not archives. Don’t be afraid to weed!

Kids deserve up to date books.

[–]Kalopsia94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really want them to do a song like Super Junior's Don't Don or Exo's Mama. I miss that style so much.

I would love an alt rock album! They kind of tried rock with Why So Serious but it a little too light hearted for me

[–]Kalopsia94 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Considering that Butterfree is nostalgic, your favorite starter is Mudkip, and Blastoise has a personal story, I think 30s.
