Genrifying the Library
Classes in the Library
Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Hitt brought their classes to the library for library orientation and to check out library books. Students reviewed the different areas of the library through a Scavenger Hunt Bingo. This was a great way to review the different sections of the library!
Mrs. Nelson's and Mrs. Chitwood's students also came for library orientation and to check out library books. One of the things we also reviewed with Mrs. Nelson's students was the Student Internet Use agreement and library procedures. Students often sign the Internet Use Agreement without really understanding what they are signing and what behavior is expected of them, so reviewing this was very helpful. Library procedures and vocabulary were also reviewed, so students could better explain to the library staff what they needed when they came to the circulation desk. Students often confuse the terms "checking out" and "checking in" and "renewing." This has been very helpful to library staff as students are better able to voice their needs.
We have also had several classes come to check out library books. We love to see our students reading!
Teachers, please contact me if you would like to schedule your students for library instruction or to reserve your class for checking in and out books. I can come to your classroom or schedule your class time in the library.
