First Graders come to the library each week for a 30 minute class. They
have a storytime followed by the opportunity to check out books. In
First Grade, we do author studies each week.
In First Grade, we have Corduroy Reading Buddies. Students are encouraged
to write the name of a book that they read or was read to them on a Corduroy
slip. Each day, a name is drawn, and the winner gets to carry around a
Corduroy stuffed doll for the day.
First Graders get to check out 2 books at a time. We encourage the "Just
Right Book" program where 1 of the books they select is on their reading
level. The other book can be any book of their choice. They can keep the
books for up to 2 weeks before they are overdue, or they can return them at
anytime and get more books.
