Welcome Back!
We’ve had a great first week of library classes! Each class had time to refresh their memories about the rules of the library and then time to check out books.
Just so we’re all on the proverbial “same page” I though this first posting would talk about those rules.
We’ve condensed our rules to the three “Rs” of the library:
- Be Responsible
- Be Respectful
- Be Ready to Learn
Simple as that! Each class discussed what it mean to be Responsible, Respectful and Ready to Learn and they included all the salient points—bringing back books on time, taking care of library books, listening quietly, reading and working quietly, and having a positive attitude.
Check out rules are:
- K & 1—one book for one week
- 2—two books for two weeks
- 3—three books for two weeks
- 4—four books for two weeks
- 5—five books for two weeks
- 6—six books for two weeks
This year we have many wonderful opportunities from our laptop computers for research projects to Book Clubs and Battle of the Books. Each Monday in this blog, I will let you know what your students are doing in the Library.
My goal this year is to strike a balance between the wonders of technology and the wonders of books. It’s sometimes easy to get sidetracked by those computers so we’re going to work on keeping that balance between our fantastic library collection and those wonderful technological tools at our fingertips.
I’m looking forward to another great year!
