<div dir="ltr">We are a much smaller school; however, I teach a 30 minute lesson and then the teacher brings his/her class down for 15 minutes another time during the week (scheduled with my Assistant) for book checkout. This gives me the opportunity to do a full lesson plus they get another 15 minutes to look for a book another time. If I'm not teaching during that time, I go and help. The teacher stays since she has already had her 30 minute prep with me. <div>Kindergarten - we have 4-5 kids from both classrooms scheduled for a 15-minute time to come down as a small group for an informal library lesson and book checkout time. Gives us an opportunity to work more closely with the small group rather than having a full class come down. We work the time out with the classroom teacher. We pick up the same kids on the same day every week for this lesson. We've done that for 3 years now and we all love it. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 3, 2021 at 11:19 AM Jaime Pirus via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">My principal and I are brainstorming ideas for our library schedule in our K-5 elementary school (non-Covid times). Currently, each class visits the library for 30 minutes once per week. Since we have five sections of each grade, I see
about 30 classes a week. I usually spend 10-15 minutes on a short lesson or read-aloud and then they have 15-20 minutes to choose books.

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to know what you do (in non-Covid times)! Do you do a 30 minute lesson one week and then let them check out books every other week? Do you see classes for a longer/shorter amount of time each week? Are students able to come to the
library during their free time to choose books? Do you do something completely different?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m open to any ideas as well as real-life experiences!<u></u><u></u></p>
