My New Media Center

Next Thursday I will, officially, be the media specialist for Riverview Elementary School in Farmington, MN. We will have a student population of 675 students in grades k-5.

Riverview is a brand new elementary with a brand new media collection! I have ordered over 15,000 titles (so far) and have quite a few more to go! It has been a a few weeks of flooding myself with a fantastically, fun, frolicking, feast of fabulous books!

Last week we interviewed for my media assistant and offered the position to an affable and smiling woman who has worked as a special education paraprofessional in the district for many years. I think she will be perfect and am looking forward to working with her!

On interview day, I stopped into see the new media center and it is wonderful! It is huge and has an really large skylight that takes up most of the center of the ceiling! There will be 8 search computers in the media center, a classroom area with a Smart Board, a leisure reading area, and a media lab where I will teach many of my classes! There is also another media lab for classroom use!

As soon as I can, I'll post pictures of the transformation.
