[AISLE-Share] Class Circulation strategies

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

Our students do self checkin and checkout, which frees library staff to circulate and help with readers advisory and keep students on task. Christine Wilson847.727.6743

 Since we don't have a fixed time with them and they have flex checkout, we have set up a chromebook that has self-checkout for them.   I had a few lessons where I demonstrated how to do it, how to search and how to find a book.  It alleviated that 30 minute scramble.  I pull the classes as needed to go over library standards or embed them when I push into classroom curricular lessons to coteach. 
Just a thought....we found that the 30 minute book checkout was a scramble, some kids didn't need to check out a book because they were still reading a book and it we felt it was less productive than a flex model.  Happy to share with you how to set it up, if that's of interest.

I have a class of 23 4th graders who each check out up to 3 books per visit. I see them for 30 minutes. I struggle with getting them all checked out in time and with strategies for keeping them on task. On task meaning: locating a book, reading, searching the OPAC, working on a worksheet, etc.
Does anyone have any strategies that work?
