[CASL-L] Seeking pandemic friendly elementary ideas

Elaine.. I would say to strip it all down to the basics this year.. read alouds with discussions, and maybe the 3rd and 4th graders could use Flipgrid to delve deeper into discussions about read alouds..

Hi everyone,

The closer school gets, the more I think "how is this ever going to work"?  Does anyone have ideas of how to make library classes fun given that students will likely have to stay seated most of the time?  Normally I would do scavenger hunts around the library, teach students where different kinds of books are, have them peruse through piles of books on different topics, learn about the classification stickers on books that identify different genres and themes, ETC.  Now, it looks like all or most book borrowing will be done online or by menu.  We will have a hybrid schedule: M-Tu and Thu-Fri, meaning if you order a book on Tuesday, you may not receive it until the following Mon.  I have an aide in the AM only, and my PMs are back to back classes, so checkout was always challenging . . . now I don't think I will have time.

Appreciating any wisdom!
