Our 5th grade teachers give all their students a job application, but there's no interview process per se. Maybe in our future! Thanks for the great ideas!Sandy Karas Liptakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947537276016070131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454084808970968753.post-5653319556202111752014-01-26T14:36:30.602-08:002014-01-26T14:36:30.602-08:00I’ve had student volunteers helping in my K-5 scho...I’ve had student volunteers helping in my K-5 school library for about 5 years. It started off with just a few and now it’s grown to over 30 student volunteers. At the beginning of the school year 4th and 5th graders fill out an application if they’d like to work in the library. After two weeks of taking applications, each student who applied comes in for an interview. Along with myself, I enlist the help of the principal, assistant principal and school counselor. We call the students in one at a time and conduct a short interview. We take notes on the back of the application they’ve returned and I make my final selection from that. Once I’ve trained each volunteer to shelve books, they pick a row to be responsible for. I post their picture above the row, and it’s something they take pride in maintaining. Each student volunteer also works in our student store one day a week (this is by far their favorite part of volunteering). They also have a pictured ID badge to wear when volunteering. Also, some of my volunteers come in and are actually cleaning each book in the row they are responsible for! I am so thankful for my student volunteers, they work hard to help keep our school library maintained and are such a help to me..

The title font is from Lettering Delights and it's called "Funky Chicken". The font for the days of the week is called "Mouse Memoirs" and it's from fontspace.com (which is free). :0) Hope this helps!

I tweeted this post and plan to also share it with the principal and guidance counselor. Thank you for sharing. Oh yeah!
