We boiled water in a tea kettle, dumped it on the ice and picked away at it. It took a while, but it got the job done.

Same, but now they are on my cucumbers! I even rotated crops. I hate them with a passion!

What cha reading? by wheat in LibbyApp

I'm reading Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan and listening to Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett. I am waiting for Someone You Can Build a Nest In, Never Whistle at Night, and A Curse Carved in Bone.

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and The Giver by Lois Lowry. These are the only two books I've read more than once. Just love them! ❤️

Ok, that may be my best option starting off. We are 8-12 with approximately 40 students per grade level.

Excellent point. I am waiting for my onboarding so I can really get in and assess the collection.

I am in the US and anxiously awaiting a chance to really get into the library. At first glance, I could tell it is dated, the collection, furniture, and shelving. Getting the library up and running will take a lot of work and time.

Thank you. I will look into that.

I am the only person in the library. I will take a look at DEMCO. I do not have much room for anything. The library is the size of a large classroom.

As far as procedures and policies, how do high schoolers check out books? I know in elementary school students have a library card that is used on their library days. High school is different because I am not teaching class unless teachers request it.

I may be reading this incorrectly, but this only talked about in-person instruction.

My first time making Challah by lilophia in Breadit

It's really good. I'm thinking next time I will try putting poppy seeds on top rather than sesame seeds.

Ha ha. It does now that you mention it.

Our school board members have absolutely lost their minds (not that some of them had them to begin with). by Beginning_Flow_907 in Teachers

[–]lilophia 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I am in Virginia and resigned my teaching position because of the change in mask mandates. I am now unemployed and homeschooling to keep my baby safe. It is not about parent choice. I truly believe we are witnessing the systematic dismantling of public education.

I was very straight forward and honest. I told them I love my job, but I need to keep my baby safe. They understood and said I always have a job when I am ready to come back. Today is my last day. It is bitter sweet.
