Kindergarten Library Skills and Literature - Roseburg Public Schools

Skills - Intermediate OrientationIntermediate teachers sign up for a 45-60 minute library time to allow time to goover library rules, check out, the arrangement of the library and any skills (suchas the use of the online library catalog) that need review from the previous year.Since there will be new students from outside the area, they will especiallybenefit from the review. I also tell about some of our new books. My policy is thatno new books get checked out the first week so that I can show them to all theclasses. This takes 30-45 minutes (depending upon what you want to cover) andleaves 15 minutes for students to check out books. Below is merely the outline Iuse personally. It is meant only as an example:1. WELCOME BACK---Meet new students-Changes in the library-New books2. CHECK OUT PROCEDURE-Numbers same as lunch # (memorize)-Number of books you may checkout (2 for two weeks) unless for research-Come in for 15-20 minutes once a week as a class. Tell their library day. Giveother times that the library is open for checkout.-Put books on the counter barcode up during regular class c/o, in box at othertimes.-Renewals are done as you pass the counter.-Go immediately to check out, I’ll ring bell if I need to talk to you.-Voice Level 2 (Rockers and carrels are VL 1)-Overdue noticesHighlighted - one month overdueNotice to parents attached – pay slip (2 mos overdue) - restricted. Mailedhome.3. AREAS AND ARRANGEMENT OF THE LIBRARY-Draw diagram of our library from Primary Skills lessons-Review spine labels4. ONLINE LIBRARY CATALOG-Only have three so don’t play on them.-Also on class computers-Review process
