I’ve been rolling station ideas around in my head for a while. Trying to figure out the best way to do them in Moore’s library. So I think they’ve incubated enough, and we’ll hatch this idea on Tuesday.
3rd & 4th grade schedule
- Months 1 & 2 – introduction to library skills stations at their usual working tables.
- Month 3 – students go to the same stations around the library by tables.
- Month 4 – students get to choose stations.
Batch 1
- Did you know? cards
- Library vocabulary 3-way match
- Reference shuffle
- What’s your number?
- Library helpers 1
5th grade will follow the same procedure but they are working on science/research stations. I’ve had a harder time with this one.
- Graphic organizers
- Fact or opinion
- Reference shuffle
- Cite your source
- Library helpers 1
I’ll introduce stations to grade 2 during second semester following the same routine. Hopefully we will be able to start them earlier next year and with less introduction in 3rd, 4th & 5th grades.
