[aisle] Kindergarten checkouts - need tips and tricks!

[Kristen Harvey]

We start with baskets of paperbacks they choose from at their table, then
we move to specific bookshelves I guide them to 3-5 at a time depending on
the group. It's a lot of practice and repetition. They have colorful check
out shelf markers they use so I can tell if they actually made it to my
assistant to check out once I trust them to try the process on their own.
