This week each class reviewed check out rules and procedures. Check out rules varied based on grade level. Kindergartners need a bit more time adjusting to school and new responsibilities and do not start checking out books until week six or seven. First graders are only allowed to check out books from the picture book section and the paperbacks. Mrs. Jennings shows students books from the previous year that were damaged by students as examples for how students should respect library books. After explaining how students should care for their books, Mrs. Jennings shows each class a short video about how to use the library. She shows this video to the first graders:
Second graders got to see a fun video about Oscar the Grouch visiting the library:
Third, fourth, and fifth graders watched a video on BrainPop.com about exploring your library, using a catalog, and finding a call number.
A neat feature of teaching each class about check out was Mrs. Jennings turning off the lights and with a flashlight highlighting each area of the library for check out.
I learned about LibraryWorld and helped each class check out items.
