Hellibrarian: Explaining the municipal pool
http://hellibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/11/explaining-municipal-pool.html
Thursday, November 20, 2008. Explaining the municipal pool. I don't know why so many of the Newcomers are Dominican- maybe because public education is required in Mexico but not in the D.R? Do you know T- -" (He named the town). I nodded. "Me and my uncle went to the pool there and they didn't let us in and my uncle say it because we are black. Maybe since Obama is President they don't do that more.". R- , does your uncle live in T- -? I asked. "No, he live here," he replied. Posted by Helen T. Wiesel, E...

Hellibrarian: Isolation
http://hellibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/11/isolation-part-i.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2008. One of my colleagues said to me the other day that it must be hard for me not having my lunch period or meetings with other teachers. Just the fact that she acknowledged that was important. I mean, I am not so into the faculty lounge thing which can really turn into gossip central, but her acknowledgment that I am isolated meant a lot to me. Socializing with my present colleagues is odd and difficult for me. Analysis:. Then there are the circumstances and nature of my job:.

Hellibrarian: I didn't take children's oral fixations into account.
http://hellibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-didnt-take-childrens-oral-fixations.html
Monday, September 8, 2008. I didn't take children's oral fixations into account. There are some thing entirely predictable at my school. For instance, I am not the least bit surprised that, as the school year begins, the circulation system is down, my desk phone is not working, my email is not working, and that those in charge of fixing these things are unresponsive.

Hellibrarian: 30 percent
http://hellibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/09/30-percent.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. Three cases at my school. I'll start with the one that made me very happy yesterday. The first week of school when I saw my bilingual 4th grade, I asked: "Where's A? Anyway, this year she's in the fourth grade- luckily she's short and cute so she looks more like a nine-year-old than an eleven-year-old. So when I saw her class for the first time a couple of weeks ago and she wasn't there, I said, "Where's A? Posted by Helen T. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Base, Grahame...

Hellibrarian: Theo, psychic messaging, and Desiderata
http://hellibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/09/theo-psychic-messaging-and-desiderata.html
Wednesday, September 3, 2008. Theo, psychic messaging, and Desiderata. 1992-1996: Budapest, Hungary. My dear friend Theo and I were writing partners in the old days in Budapest at the Astoria hotel coffeehouse, take out notebooks and a copy of Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones, and write and critique together. When I started blogging last year, coincidentally, he started blogging at the same time. He recently wrote this post about using mysticism to cope with one's job. Desiderata, by Max Ehrmann.

Thursday, September 4, 2008. For all you teachers out there. Several of us librarians developed a lesson plan today on Presidential Elections and detecting bias in text and images. It is geared toward grade 5 but could certainly be used for higher grades.

Hellibrarian: Philosophy of a Home, Part 2
http://hellibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/12/philosophy-of-home-part-2.html
Friday, December 5, 2008. Philosophy of a Home, Part 2. Read Part 1 first! I feel it when I go into a shop in Boro Park and see hats for $200 apiece- how is it that people can be so extravagant? I feel it when I see McMansions replacing decrepit mini-capes and wonder: Where do people get so much money? Posted by Helen T. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). All Harry, All the Time.
