I have kids. Real, live students. In my library. The last time I had students, well, let’s just say that the internet was brand new and leave it at that.
I started easy- just the 5/6 first thing and the 3/4 at the end of the day (the k-3 kids have a guest reader). Figuring that the 5/6 kids are already experts in how to make the library a safe, fun place where everyone can learn, I asked them to write our rules before they went to pick out books.
Not bad, if I do say so myself…
