Guess Who?

See the picture to the right?  Guess who this boy is?  You guessed it... William McCoin.  I finally met William McCoin!  I hope that this year I can close the library up in June without wondering who any of my students are.  Everyone of them should be able to come to the library on a regular basis...despite STAAR test preparations, cohorts, or tutoring.  I would like to think that the library activities we do just reinforce all of the good learning that is happening in our classrooms.

I Finally Met the McCoins!

Today as I was busily adding the children's names into the circulation database, two little girls from 3B came into the library.  Itzel had accompanied Rosemary to tell me that Rosemary was unable to take an AR test and to ask me to check her account.  My computer was working very slowly so I asked Rosemary for her complete name and her ID number.  Imagine my surprise when she told me her last name was McCoin!  Today I finally met Rosemary McCoin!  And tomorrow, Rosemary is going to introduce me to her brother William.  Then I will be able to say I know the McCoins and can look forward to having them become regular library patrons.
