So, like others, their choices are limited until they're a bit older. By 2nd semester, we teach them to use shelf markers and then monitor that for a few weeks. Once they are proficient with shelf markers, they can choose from any Picturebook or Easy Non-fiction shelf. <div><br></div><div>Michelle Harris</div><div>Heyworth CUSD #4</div></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" target="_blank">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"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<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.
