    Love all your tips! Some I already do! We have over 850 kids and I have no helper. I see 10-13 classes every day except Friday. I have a fixed/flex schedule. I am also open 4.75 hours a day for students with passes plus my scheduled classes. All of my teachers know how to check in and out books so I can help their kids and teach their classes while students come in with passes. Also, I'm not allowed a sub so teachers can still bring their classes when I'm out. Shelving books is my biggest problem!

Worth more than I paid!

"I am so glad I found the Elementary Librarian lesson plans! The fact that these plans were easy to use and were aligned to both the AASL and Common Core ELA standards made them worth far more that what I paid for them!"

All the work is done for me!

"This will be my 7th year and until your plans I have been spinning my wheels trying to come up with solid plans each week. I had planned on spending all summer trying to figure out my “years” plans, but you have done all the work for me."

My students are engaged!

"I was thrilled to discover your treasure trove of resources. After two years of doing it “my way,” I decided to utilize the center approach and do it “your” way. The students are engaged and I see them using the knowledge the lessons give them."

My principal was impressed!

"Your lesson plans with the Common Core and AASL 21st Century Standards were a life saver! My principal looked through my plan binder and was completely floored that EVERY lesson had both sets of standards."
