We read Preschool to the Rescue by Judy Sierra except I called it Pre-K and we discussed being a hero is not a matter of size.

Kinders/2nd Grade:

Discuss ABC order.  Read a book.

 (K-2) With a discussion about Everybody-Read books being in ABC order (call numbers), read Alpha Betti by Carlene Morton. While I take 5 at a time to show them how to use shelf markers, the big group will use the shelving game on the smartboard.

Year 2, Post #1

Kinders and 1st Grade:

 Cover image for The wonderful book

I read The Wonderful Book by Leonid Gore.  We discussed cover and with each animal we talked about what NOT to do with your library books. Then I used the Kinder Orientation Powerpoint with simple rules and went over the 3 steps to checking out.

2nd-5th:
I went over Summer Reading results. Then we reviewed the Library Orientation Powerpoint before checking out. Emphasis on using shelf markers correctly.

Pre-K:
I read The Wonderful Book to these 2 groups. Then we sang "Going on a Bear Hunt" together. Song Link
Also, great storybook version on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKGCFxJLqbQ
