Kindergarten
Kindergarten students will check out one book . Students will check out books from baskets for the first part of the year then progress to the shelves as they learn about locating and caring for library materials.
First Grade
First graders will check out one book from the Everybody section and progress to the Nonfiction section by the end of first grade.
Second and Third Grade
Students in these grades may have two books checked out at a time.
Fourth and Fifth Grade
Fourth and fifth grade students may have two books checked out at a time with the possibility of up to three upon a conference with Mrs.Thompson.
Students should keep books away from liquids and food. Library books should not be left outside exposed to the elements. Water damage is a problem from water bottles in backpacks. Books should be examined when they arrive home so that any problems can be reported to the librarian. Damage that is not reported will become the responsibility of the student. We will discuss this in depth with the students during library orientation.
Our flexible schedule for upper grades(2-5) allows these students to visit the library when they are ready without having to wait for their assigned library day. They do have to ask their teacher's permission before visiting the library. Mrs.Thompson works collaboratively with the classroom teachers so that individuals or groups may visit and use the library resources for research or to supplement the learning taking place in the classroom.
