At our elementary school each student must bring a "pass" of some kind when
walking to the Media Center independently (as opposed to with a whole
class). I have to supply these passes to the teachers -- five per class.
In the past I've used some sort of tag on a cord that the kids can wear
around their necks. This works fine for the youngest kids -- but the older
ones have taken to doing other things with the passes -- the worst of which
is swinging the tags around by the string (with surprising centrifugal
force, I might add!) and, purposely or "accidentally", either letting go to
see how far the thing will fly across the room or hitting another student
with it. Yes, I can take the pass away and send the student back to
his/her room -- but often I'm busy with a class, and many times the student
just comes back before long and repeat the same scene. (Teachers tell me
they are too busy to keep track of who has been sent back -- so the kid
just grabs another pass and returns..)
Does anyone have some sort of library pass that works? I'd love a
suggestion! TIA.
