I rotate my weeks so I can include the fun stuff as well as the required stuff in my lessons. 1st and 2nd grade rotate read day and activity day. 3rd and 4th rotate Read Day, Lesson Day, Activity Day and Promo Day. 5th grade rotates Write Day, Read Day, Lesson Day, Activity Day and Promo Day. 6th grade rotates Read Day, Lesson Day, Lesson Activity Day, Activity Day, and Promo Day. I find that this works very well. Our classes visit the library once a week for 40 minutes. I usually try and allow 10 - 15 minutes for checkout. Will you please share some of your ideas that would work for activity day. You can really say that anything goes. I do Tale Spins (a game that uses pictures to create stories), the basketball game (students get a chance to make a "basket" for answering the Brain Quest questions correctly), creating bookmarks, puzzles, United Streaming videos, computer activities that are book/author related, etc. For the younger grades this is used to promote books also, so we do the book/prop/CD kind of thing. Do you have anything that you are currently doing that the kids really enjoy? Will you please share and I will post a hit. I will include more information about the actiivities listed above in my hit.
