[CASL-L] Library Routine

[Michelle Farella]

Hi everyone, as we are getting ready for the school year I am curious
about what other lower elementary school librarians do for their library
lessons.
I teach at a PreK-3rd Grade School and have 40 minute library classes.

This is what I do:
1 - Greet students at the door
2 - Students sanitize hands and find a paw print to sit on in the teaching
area
3 - I take attendance
4 - Hello song in sign language and in Spanish
5 - Review library expectations. In grades 1 - 3 I have volunteers come up
to the smart board to use the pointer and read the rules while the class
repeats after them.
6 - Joke of the day or guess the book title from the emojis
7 - Book Talks - I talk about a book I read and where they can find it in
the library. I ask for 2 or 3 volunteers to talk about a book they liked
and why
8 - Movement Break
9 - Songs with puppets for the younger grades
10 - Yoga Breaths
11 - Teach library lesson/ read a related book
12 - Review how to use a shelf marker
13 - Review library book check out routine
14 - Students look for and check out books
15 - If there is remaining time students can color, build, or read books at
the library tables.
16 - I ring a bell and the students clean up and line up by the stairs to
the door

I'm looking to revamp what I do, so I'd love to hear about what works for
you!
Sincerely,
Michelle
