Elem: Number of Books to Check Out

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@swbell.net>]

My kinders do not check out (administration decision)
My first graders get 1 book  per time until 2nd semester (and they
demonstrate responsibility).
For 2nd I let them have 2 at a time.
After 3rd I tell students "as many as you can be responsible for"--while
reminding them "you are taking $100 worth of books, I don't want to have
to telephone your parents and ask for $100."--This usually gets child to
reconsider the quantity...If a child has been chronically late or lost
books, I remind them and limit quantities.
   I am on flex access, so children can return and exchange books as
often as necessary.
