I had a ball with the first graders this week. This is the first year they’ve checked out books from the library, and I’ve been pre-selecting their books so far this year.

The markers are like big plastic bookmarks; the kids put them next to the book they want to look at, so if they decide to put the book back they know exactly where it belongs.
