Sub Plans for Media Center
for Evelyn Bussell
Tuesday, November 1, 2022
Thank you for subbing for me! I’m at a professional development meeting today so if you have any questions you can try texting me at 919-539-8467. Please write me any notes about how your day goes, about particular classes or students that I should know about.
Please note: One of my Junior Librarians will set up the circulation computers. The step-by-step directions are located in a plastic page protector hanging next to my office door. There is NO checkOUT for Kindergarten or 1st grade!
BEFORE SCHOOL
Turn on lights in Media Center
Log onto the laptop that is on my “teacher table” in the non-fiction secion and that is connected to the tv. To project the laptop to the tv, simply turn the tv on after you have the laptop turned on.i’ve put a sticky note where the power button is.
Go ahead and open tabs for the following sites:
Morning Duty 8:45-9:15am - Junior Librarians & Open Circulation in the Media Center
Junior Librarians can:
Sort books from the blue cart
Put books that go in bins back in their bins
Put the yellow labeled books in their appropriate bsection of the wooden non-fiction browsing bin in the Everyone section. There is a stack of these books on the green table next to where they go.
Go to class at the 9:10 bell.
If any other students come by, they MUST check in with their teacher first. They MUST return to their classroom no later than 9:10.
Water bottles, backpacks, lunch boxes/bags, playground equipment should all be left on/at the table by the front door next to the light switch panel.

SEATING & Book Return
ALL Grades As students come in, have them place any water bottles, bookbags, lunch boxes, etc. on the table or floor in the rainbow taped off section at the front door. Only grades 2-5 should be returning their books. The following students are fairly reliable for knowing the correct way to check in and checkout books. You can ask them to be helpers.
2nd grade - Asher & Charlotte
3rd grade - Alex, Caelyn & Layla M.
4th grade - Jenna & Oscar
5th grade - Vada & Grayson
ALL Students will sit in the Non-Fiction section. Have the line leader take the line and stop at the rainbow line on the floor just before the tables. Seat students 3-4 at a time at the tables. Exceptions - 4th & 5th grades, have the teachers assign them to their seats. I have already emailed & asked them to help with this.
At the beginning of every single class I review the expectations using the following script:
My expectations today are the same as last week and all year long.
I expect that you will Be Safe and you will Be Respectful.
Right now being safe looks like sitting on your bottom, your body is in control and your body parts are kept to yourself. (If students will be moving around the room, substitute "using walking feet" for sitting on your bottom)
Right now being respectful looks like eyes and ears are on me, your mouth and body are quiet and you are paying attention. (If students are sitting for a lesson or read-aloud)
OR
Right now being respectful looks like using a whisper voice, staying on task to ________ and not bothering other students.
3rd Grade - 9:30-10:15am - 4th Grade - 1:25-2:10pm
Digital Choiceboard - bit.ly/CodingMedia
I asked these teachers to have their students bring their charged chromebooks, chargers & earbuds or headphones. If someone does NOT have a device, you can decide if they sit with another student to watch on their device OR if you want them to get a book and read quietly.
After students are seated, review the expectations as scripted above.
Project the laptop to the tv, on the tab displaying the coding choiceboard.
Provide each table with 1-2 strips of the bitly address. Please explain to them that they MUST type in the URL box / address field and NOT in the google search box AND that they MUST type it exactly as it is written out. (no spaces, punctuation exactly the same, capital letters capitalized, lower case letters in lower case) You may need to help some students get to the site.
Students may do any of the choices on the choiceboard where the links work and they are not required to sign into anything.
While students are doing the choiceboards, you may send students at 1-2 tables at a time to go check out.
Kindergarten - 10:20-11:05am, 1st - Grade - 11:10am-11:55am, 2nd Grade - 12:35-1:20pm
After students are seated, you will project the laptop to the tv.
After students are seated, review the expectations as scripted above.
State the following at the beginning and anytime during the period that students are talking, playing or otherwise not paying attention:
“I will wait until you are ready. I will know you are ready when you are sitting on your bottom, your hands are in your lap, your eyes and ears are on me, and your mouth is quiet.”
Project the laptop to the tv, with the read aloud displayed.
Show the video of the read aloud.
After that, provide each student with a piece of paper and a pencil. You may give each table an eraser, reminding them that they have to share it.
Switch tabs to the drawing video. Play the video, stopping after each step so that students can follow along.
Once the scarecrow has been drawn, have students write their name on their paper. Students may take their paper with them, and you’ll want to collect them at the end of class and give them to the teacher.
For Kindergarten & 1st grade - IF time remains, you can provide each table with a box of crayons to color their scarecrow.
For 2nd grade - Once the scarecrow is drawn, call on 2-3 tables at a time to checkout. Start with whatever table Walsh is sitting at and remind them they need to be quick so that everyone has a chance to check out. You may need to help them at the check OUT computer. Directions are on the counter in picture and word form. Students may take their papers with them.
Planning - 2:15-2:50pm
5th Grade - 2:50-3:35pm
After students are seated, review the expectations as scripted above.
State the following at the beginning and anytime during the period that students are talking, playing or otherwise not paying attention:
“I will wait until you are ready. I will know you are ready when you are sitting on your bottom, your hands are in your lap, your eyes and ears are on me, and your mouth is quiet.”
Provide each student with a copy of the worksheet and a pencil.
Direct students to listen to the book for the answers to the questions on the worksheet.
Read aloud Day of the Dead (Celebrations in My World).
After they complete the worksheet, they are to spend the remainder of the time coloring the Day of the Dead coloring sheet.
While they are coloring, you may call on two tables at a time to checkout.
End of Day
Wipe down & straighten tables & chairs
Help in the Media Center w/K-2 students for carpool, 3:45-4:15pm.
