The Start of a New Era

Well, this is it.  I am officially a librarian.  Seemed slightly surreal until I met all my classes and started weeding our collection.  What can I say, I LOVE being in the library for so many reasons... the variety of kids I get to see, making connections with all of them, the excitement of introducing new books, the list goes on and on.  But with my new job, came some pangs of where I have been.  I do miss being able to see the same kiddos day in and out.  Seeing all those Ahha moments (I am sure I will get those in the library too) and developing such a tight community in our classroom.  I have a lot planned for this year and I think Peterson Smarty Pants will really enjoy all the fun "stuff" we are going to attempt to accomplish.  But in the mean time - go read a book and stop reading this!
