and help students place orders, I barely have time to read anything and definitely don’t have time for skills. I’m sure this will get better as time goes on, but 30 min. was too short. I can’t imagine only 20 min. My plan is for 3-8 to place holds and K-3
to use Seesaw to choose book topics. I am bringing a few books with me as well and students can choose from those as well. Any holds that are placed are filled the next morning.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My school is starting tomorrow with full-time in person learning. In the past I have had 40 minute weekly dedicated periods with K-4 students. I spent 20 minutes reading or doing library skills instruction for them and then they would browse
the stacks and check out books. This year I lost my library space as it is now an 8th grade classroom. I will need to be an "instacart" librarian delivering books to the classrooms. I am advocating that my time for K-2 be decreased to 20 mins as that is about
as long as their attention span can take and then I will have more time to get back to the library with their "library orders" and fill those orders and deliver them later in the day. My principal is trying to figure out how I could do just 20 instead of
40 min as my time with the class gives the teacher their lunch or a planning period. I am wondering if any of you are in a similar spot and how you are tackling this. One idea I had was to split the 40 min. period with the social worker who could do SEL with
the kiddos in the 2nd half of the period. <u></u><u></u></p>
