<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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m open to any ideas as well as real-life experiences!<o:p></o:p></p>
