[CASL-L] Cohort Block Schedule and Book Checkout?

[Laura Hedenberg]

We cohort for 8 weeks and rotate through grade level sets: k-1, 2-4, 5-6.  We will have each group twice.  PE is every day for rotations.

For my youngest grades I’m going to have menu choices and I’ll choose the books based on their interests. I don’t want to bring books in a cart, have kids touch them and then have to quarantine them.  I’m going to assign days for non library  classes to deliver books.  I’m hoping it will help me manage the returned books more effectively.  I have 5 Rubbermaid bins so the returns can be managed by day.  Easier to quarantine.

Those of you who are doing this in the fall, how are you going to handle book checkout for the non-library classes? If I'm teaching 5 classes a day, there really isn't time for the other 20 classes to have a time for book checkout. That would be 4 extra checkout times I'd need. Are they just not getting books each week? What are you planning to do?
