Yes there will be those kids who try to spend the time socializing but in my
experience it is about age group- 3rd and 4th graders have the least amount of time
browsing...more than half the period is a lesson. Yes I preselect for the very
young. That said, the kids know that library class rules are the same as other
subjects. Attention, participation and appropriate behavior. If they are not
actively looking for a book, checking out a book or recommending a book, they are
sitting quietly reading or sharing a book. third and fourth grade have the option
of writing as well as reading or making cartoons. If I catch a kid doing none of
those, they become my helpers to reshelve and prep for another class.
