Book Care

Next week I will be letting the Kinders and Firsties check out from the BIG shelves for the first time this year.  It's a big step for them and I know they are really excited about it.  To get them ready, I have prepared a review lesson about how to choose a "just right" book and also how to take care of library books.  It seems they need a gentle reminder about book care as some of their books have begun being returned with extra pictures or missing pages in them.  I found a really cute book on the Kindergarten...Kindergarten blog called Forest Friends Go to School:  A Very, Very Sad Story (With a Happy Ending!) that I downloaded, printed, and put together.  You can find that book here.  It's perfect for this lesson on book care.

I tied our lesson together with these cute book care bookmarks.


Hope you enjoy the bookmark. You can get it HERE

  1. I am so thrilled to have come across your blog! I too am an elementary school librarian. I just started my own blog this week, and I have come across tons of teacher blogs, but not so many librarian ones. I will also make good use of your favorite blog lists. WhooHoo ... more librarian websites. We librarians are one of a kind you know! If you are interested, I can be found at www.librarypatch.com.
