So I'm finding the importance of recieving prescibed texts when you need them... I ordered one of my books three weeks ago and still have not recieved it yet. I'm am trying to complete on of my assignments and I cannot go on without this resource. I know now that when kids are particularly after one resource, that means exactly that. We need to give them information on que for time to be used effectively. At least this has given me time to write on this blog.

Challenges already.

Wow, I am finding life extremely difficult. Working fulltime at a school that has difficult kids and then going home each night to study, then spending all weekend trying to do assignments and complete things which are also required of me at school is quite hard. Just putting down my thoughts about this. It would be much easier if I was a librarian who only just 2 or 3 days a week. Unfortunately this is not the case. I hope the lecturers understand...

About Me

My name is Rachel Kelly I am 24 years old and I am in my third year of teaching. After attending the University of New England I was employed at Gloucester Public School on a 4/5 class full time temporary. Last year I was then placed on a year 3/4 class full time at the same school. I then applied for an advertised permanent position at Tamworth West Public School as a Teacher Librarian, which I was lucky enough to be offered after being successful at interview. I started working at Tamworth West in September last year without any real library experience, just some little things that I had picked up along the way at my previous school.
I have created this blog because I am am enrolled at CSU to gain a Graduate Certificate in Teacher Librarianship, and this blog was one of the requirements. I hope to get a huge amount out of this course, from teaching kids how to competently research using the information process to generally promoting a love of literature. I am very excited to be taking part in this course to further my knowledge and usefulness in the library.
Hello to everyone doing the course that I met on Thurs,Fri in Sydney. Hope to chat and look at your blogs soon too!
