Whew. What a month. The start of the month was librarian-nerd heaven. I was able to fund raise a few hundred dollars for students to spend at the Scholastic book sale. I recruited my middle school students to work the week-long sale. They had a blast. I had them work on everything from marketing to managing the cash register. These students have a passion for entrepreneurship. 

March 13th was last day of the Scholastic sale and the last day of 'normal' school for a while. I was able to quickly pivot to support mode for our teachers. Our district uses very little technology in the classroom. So it was difficult to move our instruction online. We only recently were able to semi implement 1:1 devices for one campus just a few months ago. In addition, we had just wrapped up our one classroom pilot of Google Classroom with students this winter. Needless to say, it was an exercise in flexibility and teamwork! I feel quite proud of the educational team and all we did in just a few short weeks. We will see what the spring brings!
