Sub Plans for Media Center
for Evelyn Bussell
Monday, November 21, 2022
Thank you for subbing for me! I’m at an all day doctor’s appointment so I am unavailable by cell. Please write me any notes about how your day goes, about particular classes or students that I should know about.
BEFORE SCHOOL
Turn on lights in Media Center
Log onto the Check IN and Check OUT computers. The step-by-step directions are inside of a plastic page protector hanging next to my office door. The Check IN computer is the one located closest to the front door on top of the book return. The Check OUT computers are the two computers located at the end of the circulation desk with picture & word directions on the counters in front of the monitors.
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 section of the wooden non-fiction browsing bin in the Everyone section.
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. The following students are fairly reliable for knowing the correct way to check in and checkout books. You can ask them to be helpers. You’ll need to help the 1st graders with checking in their books. (Scan the Pleasant Grove Elementary barcode on the back of the book, make sure it shows up on the computer screen, and then place on the blue cart. No need to do anything else to the computer)
2nd grade - Everett & Eliza
3rd grade - Samuel, Keira & Dominic
4th grade - August, Kyden & Emma
5th grade - Annie & Adelaide
ALL students will sit in the Fiction section. You should ask the classroom teacher to assist you with seating them so that they are not with or next to students they should not be.
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.
Kindergarten
Thanksgiving Read Aloud & Activity Packet
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.”
Read aloud one or both of the books: The Great Thanksgiving Escape by Mark Fearing and Arthur’s Thanksgiving by Marc Brown
Give each student an activity packet labeled for kindergarten and a pencil. You may place one crayon box for every 2-3 students to share.
1st-5th Grades
Thanksgiving Activity Packets & CheckOUT
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.”
Once students are seated you will give each student a Thanksgiving Activity Packet and a pencil. You may place one crayon box for every 2-3 students to share.
While students are working on their activity packets, you may call on 3-4 students at a time to check out. You will likely need to help 1st grade students and some 2nd grade students at the Check OUT computer. Follow the step-by-step picture & word directions that are on the counter in front of each monitor.
If students complete their activity packet and time remains, they should read quietly at their seat. If they do not have a book to read, they may select one from a cart OR a magazine, and should return the item from where they get it when class is over.
End of Day
Wipe down & straighten tables & chairs
Help in the Media Center w/K-2 students for carpool, 3:45-4:15pm.
Turn off computers
