Re: HIT: sitting for storytime

[Susan Shaver <sshaver@PANESU.ESU14.K12.NE.US>]

In response to the expression "Indian style", when I first went into the
library our first grade teacher told her students upon entering for
storytime to sit on their "bumpers" :-).  All classes know that means either
with legs crossed or feet flat with knees up and arms clasped around them.
They shift from either position but remain with "bumpers" on the floor.  The
expression offends no one. After the story they move quietly to tables
until their turn to look for books.
