Catherine!

Here's my proposed schedule once I get back to school.
As you can see, I have 5 (count 'em) five 9th grade classes.
That covers all 78 students in that grade.

Monday - 7th period - 2:45-3:35

Tuesday - 1st period - 8:22-9:11

Wednesday - 5th period - 12:54-1:44

Thursday - 4th and 8th period - 11:14-12:04 and 3:30-4:20

You can also see when the lab is occupied with other classes
and my possible availability(lab lifeguard) once I return from meting out justice.

(This schedule is subject to spontaneous changes at the whim of Andrew as he continues to juggle the schedule)

At this point, until the end of September, I'm teaching Tuesday morning
before jury duty and for about 20 minutes on Wednesday right after lunch. (crazy, huh?)

As we briefly discussed, my hope is that I could lead my students down to the Library and introduce them to you and Caryn for a short tour or presentation to familiarize them with the resources and lay of the land. This is such a fundamental building block in their budding high school careers.

I'm sure most of the FAIS students know you and the Library, but may not be aware of the treasures that you harbor. This will also anoint the newcomers on their high school journey of discovery ;-)

Then, perhaps in contrast to the physical resources available to them we could show the new virtual offerings (nexus and gates?) either on a library computer or as you suggested, back up in the lab. We also have the use of the projector and the laptop that works quite well for presentations to small groups, as you know.

This would be invaluable to me as well as the students and would be a great model for other grades and/or special classes. The History and English classes come to mind. Teachers would bow down and kiss your feet, you will be the toast of FAIS, and a parade float will feature your likeness in poppies and carnations.

If you have some other components to this lesson plan I have missed, please suggest away. Nothing is ever in stone.

Go Jaguars, Jeannene
