I would suggest making sure that part of the time they are moving around.
As a daycare provider, I have had some kindergarteners who could have sat
through an hour of reading, but many have too much energy to burn off,
especially at the beginning of the year. How about a book that they can
move to, like Eric Carle's From Head to Toe. And their own little carpet
square to sit on should help, too.

> Hi,
> This is my first year as a librarian teaching grades K-8. All classes
went well except K. I do not have an assistant and after about 10 minutes,
I could not keep the kids interested, even while reading a story. They
wanted to go to the nurse, the bathroom, etc. Please send me some
suggestions. Our class time is 30 minutes.
> Thanks so much,
