This past week I read my primary students Swim! Swim! by James Proimos. It is quite humorous--and yet to me, the humor was in hear the giggles that abounded and the knees that were slapped as Lerch swims with his new lady fish friend.
Along with hearing a great story, and laughing together, the Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders are learning about call numbers and how they work in the Everybody Section.
Third through sixth graders are learning/reviewing how to find books in the fiction section.

| Working as a team |

| We found our book! |

| Using author's last name and alphabet order |
 |
| Using Call Numbers |
 |
| Even the books are stacked up! |

| We miss Mrs. M. (check out this line!) |
On a side note, it has been extremely busy in the library--especially when Mrs. M. is gone to help with MAP testing. This is a frequent scene, as I try to check everyone out. I am not nearly as skilled as she is as getting the students through the line in a speedy way! Notice the books piling up to be checked in...yeah for MAP!
I have also been updating my
book trailers, and making some of my own. Check it out!

I know this post is from last year, but how did you do your lesson with finding books? Did you give them the sticks, or did they have to go find them? Also, how did you make the sticks and how many different ones? This is a FANTASTIC activity and I would LOVE to do it with my library kiddos this year! Thanks!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAngie--
ReplyDeleteThanks. First I taught a lesson on how the fiction section was organized, and we discussed/learned about call numbers. Then the students were sent out to find books after I had shown the organization. They worked with a partner, and had to check in with an adult. If you give me your email, I will send you my powerpoint.
Would love a copy of your powerpoint.
