Library time for kindergarten–2nd grade
Use this screen when your class visits the library, either as a scheduled time or a special activity. The class will see clear steps, a timer, a word cloud for sharing book ideas, and more, all on one screen.
Young students can follow along easily, check off tasks, share what they want to read, and see whose turn it is. It helps keep library time calm, fair, and focused for everyone.
Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
