Welcome to the Woodlawn Library

The Woodlawn Library belongs to...

• Woody, the Wildcat

• Ms. Winer

• Faizan, Helder, Jenelle & Cristel

• All Woodlawn students and staff

How do we show Ms. Winer that we're ready to enter the library?

• We close our eyes and count backwards from 23

• We line up calmly and quietly

• We sing the theme song from Sponge Bob

• We send her a text message

Where can I return my library books?

• In the book bin outside the library

• On my teacher's desk

• In the slot on Ms. Winer's circulation desk

• In my teacher's book box/bin

What should my voice level be when I am in the library?

• Totally silent the entire time

• Screaming at the top of my lungs like I'm in the gym

• Whisper only when I am called on to speak

• Level 1 or 2. Indoor voice while sharing, talking about books, and completing choice activities

When I look for a book,

• I should sprint through the aisles and pick any book I can find

• I should think about topics or authors I really like and look for those books

• Ask Ms. Winer for suggestions

• Look at the front and back cover and read the first paragraph to see if I'm interested

When we ________, we should stand in line, wait our turn, and hand Ms. Winer our library card and books.

After checking out, we can...

• Read our books

• Color, play Uno, draw, or do a word search

• Pretend we're in the gym and run around

• Leave the library and go to the bathroom

If I don't follow directions (after a reminder of the rules/directions), a logical consequence will be...

• Getting extra PE time

• Time out at Recess

  and/or Fun Friday being impacted

• Earning a lollipop

• Ms. Winer will talk to my teacher

The ----- are our friends. We don't throw them. We don't draw in them. We don't write our names on them. We don't use them as a tray to eat or drink on.

Ms. Winer hopes you feel all of the following when you come to the library:

• HEARD. YOUR IDEAS AND BOOK SUGGESTIONS MATTER

• PEACEFUL

• OPEN TO LEARNING ABOUT NEW PLACES, PEOPLE, IDEAS

• JOYFUL
