I am going to switch things up a bit this year.  The usual procedures for students when they come to library class (Thursdays and Fridays) for regular activity/related arts, has been put returning books on the book cart, sit down, look at board/screen/Power Point and write down inside their library folders the word of the day and definition. Each student has a library folder with blank notebook paper fastened with prongs inside and the student's library barcode ID is affixed to the outside. I usually try to cover the basic genre defintions as well as parts of a book.

This year, I think I am going to put up an Idiom board. I will have it separate from the Power Point showing the class agenda and goal for the day.  I may switch it up and throw in a genre definition every now and then.

The idioms will come from http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/.  I might design a form for the students to use instead of notebook paper. I am thinking this will be for my 3rd through 5th grade students. 2nd grade students will still need to learn the genres and parts of a book thus I will continue the Word of the Day (Week) with them.
