Hi,
I am a new media specialist this year. I will be teaching one pre-school g=
roup for 30 minutes each week. They will not be checking out books so 30 mi=
nutes seems like a really long time for 4 years olds. I would really like =
some ideas on what I could do with them especially the first couple of week=
s when I will be doing orientation and covering book care with the rest of =
my classes.
Thanks,
Terri Harrison, Media Specialist
