<div dir="ltr">We do it a bit differently. Whole class was crazy and I never was able to get to know them as readers and people! Each day approx. four K's from both classes come down for a 15-minute mini lesson/book checkout at the start of the day. Monday the same 4 from each class. Tuesday the same four etc. If they are absent their day, they join another day. It allows us to personalize more easily and get in some library skills because there are only up to 8 or 9 at a time. I really get to know them well! It's easy and fun and I think they enjoy it more, too!</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 31, 2021 at 8:56 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">This is my second year at a school library, but last year checkouts looked different. This year, our kindergarten students are able to check out books “normally.” Does anybody have any tips or tricks on how to make sure the kindergarteners
have fun choosing a book while still avoiding a tornado disaster in the library?

<p class="MsoNormal">I have five kindergarten classes that each come to the library for 30 minutes once per week. All five classes come back-to-back with no prep time in between.
