They stop at our "check-in / check-out" station which records their entrance & exit times via a Google spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has been shared with teachers so they can monitor student library visits.
P.S. This flex schedule has allowed me the luxury of teaching with much larger blocks of time. Upper grade students have been handling their new responsibility with poise. ]]> 2018-09-25 12:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dspencer5/mo3mxttrvs2y/wish/285440703 WANT TO TAKE A PEEK AT THE CCSS TECH STANDARDS SCOPE & SEQUENCE? dspencer5 https://padlet.com/dspencer5/mo3mxttrvs2y/wish/285440715 Here's a link.]]> 2018-09-25 12:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dspencer5/mo3mxttrvs2y/wish/285440715 LIBRARY CLOSURE DATES dspencer5 https://padlet.com/dspencer5/mo3mxttrvs2y/wish/285440723 October 24-28: BOOK FAIR
