for each whole class. This will be followed by "private lessons." Each child will have a turn to sit at the search station and look something up, under my supervision. This is using a computer for a real, grown-up task. In the past, the students have been so excited about this that they want to do a lot of searching on the computer and forget to go and get the books. Practicing this skill during second grade makes the students much better library users when they get to Prairieview.
