[aisle] How to structure checkout time?

[Robin Jacob]

I have centers set up monthly. Students rotate through one a week in addition to a few that are always options. If you have questions, I’m happy to share. Just contact me off list. ☺

A few easy centers to get you started that are virtually free:

Reading your book
Make a bookmark
Use stationery to write a letter
Puzzles (I buy at Goodwill)
Ipad: reading on EPIC and do #EpicPals
Book reviews
Coloring
Quiver on Ipads

Subject: [aisle] How to structure checkout time?


Hi All,

After years of being a librarian one thing still bothers me and I would love ideas on how to better it. Checkout time. I was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to give a little more structure to an unstructured time.

Normally my 3rd-5th graders have 15-20 minutes to look for books. In that time I am doing reader's advisory, looking for books and checking in/out books so I'm pulled in all directions. You know the drill some students checkout fast and some don't checkout for various reasons....and telling them to read quietly while there is so much activity isn't realistic.

I want to make that time just a little more meaningful while I am assisting others. But what?

Any ideas are much appreciated!

Thanks!

Elena
