First Days in the Media Center

So, here are some of the things I am planning to do the first days in my school library.  My school is very unique (only 4th and 5th grade), which has its advantages and challenges.

I think this is a really great "attention grabber" for the students when they enter the media center for the first time.

 Learning 400+ names is often difficult, especially with the quick move onto the middle school.  This year, I am going to try the name wave (I will let you know how it turns out)

I also need to remind my students of the rules in the library (for some of them, this is their first time in a library)  I thought this was simple and to the point.
