During my internship last year, my mentor kept K and 1 in the everybody
section. This years first graders in my new school are not happy with this
arrangement, and let me know this wasn't how it was done when the nice
library lady was there last year! Were my mentor's restrictions the general
rule or the exception? Please advise.
Nancy,
For the first few weeks I put chairs to block the way out of the E section.
I tell the kids once I see good behavior I'll move the chairs. I have a big
room 70 x 120 and I need to know who can handle it and who can't. Soe kids
just go crazy with all the SPACE. It is much easier after I know names and I
know who to keep an eye on.
Also some kids have such a hard time making a selection I like to have some
eye-catching titles out on the tables. I put out a variety - easy and
non-fiction, too.
Hope this helps you.
