I am starting to print overdue
and fine reports. You will
notice that I cut them out for
you to give to students.
Please make sure to hand
them out to students in your
1st period. I usually put
them out on Friday mornings
but I had to help a lot of
students with projects Friday
so they are coming out on
Monday this week. Students
may renew books by coming
by the library. Overdue fines
are 10 cents a day.
Some of YOU have a lot
of overdues. You will get a
list, too. I can renew for you
but if you have lost the book,
just let me know. I need
accurate records in order to
maximize what the public
library will purchase for our
library.

Do you have students who do not
know the difference between
summarizing, paraphrasing, and
direct quotes? Do you have
students who use horrible
sources, but you don’t have time
to work with them individually?
Ask me and I will schedule a
PARTY for them...but this isn’t
any ol’ party—it is a LIBRARY
SUPPORT PARTY! At this
party, I work with individual and
small groups of struggling
students to improve their
research techniques and writing.
Of course, we eat some snacks,
too. If you wish, you can allow
the student to rewrite the paper
and either you or I can grade it. I
realize that you don’t have as
much time as you wish to work
with struggling students. Let me
help you! My first library
support party is next week with
Mrs. Oettel’s students. I’m
looking forward to it!

wikispaces for your website. I
really love glogster, and I hope
that you will consider using it! I
would love to take 5 minutes to
show your class how to use it. To
see an example, go here and you
will see a glogster poster on the
Revolutionary War. To find out
about glogster in general, go to
http://edu.glogster.com
Some of you are very creative
with the projects you give to
students. If you’d like to have
students “go green” and use their
creativity to create an online
poster, glogster is the way to go.
What is cool about glogster is
that students can be creative—
including images, video,
backgrounds, textboxes, etc. It’s
a great way for students to curate
and synthesize information. Also,
it is very easy to insert a glogster
poster into a wiki if you are using

It’s always a great day at
YOUR HFA library!
Mr. Ken Fieth, Metro Archivist, will
be discussing the Civil War in
Davidson County Thursday,
September 22nd, during lunch in the
lecture hall. He will be bringing a
LOT of artifacts, such as a cannon
ball, AMES sword, musket balls, and
1861 Springfield gun and bayonet. If
you are interested in local history or
the Civil War, do not miss this
event!!!!! He will start his
presentation at 11:50 and it will last
until 12:20. I am hoping for a BIG
Hume-Fogg welcome so that some of
his many friends might come present
here, as well. If you would like to give
extra credit to your students for
attending, let’s talk and figure out a
way to make that happen. Like I said, I
want a big crowd to experience this. I
mean, how many times do you get to
look at an 1861 Springfield when it
isn’t under lock and key?
