Right on the heels of our lessons on how to find a book on the shelves--signage is going up!
The fiction section is now marked with beginning and ending letters for each shelf. The beginning and ending Dewey numbers, as well as the popular sections in between, will point the way to nonfiction books.
The catalog computer is now open! Scholars can search for subjects, titles, authors, and genres they are interested in reading.
Our scholars are helping to decide what stays on our shelves! We have thousands of books in our Everybody section that have been checked out less than once a year. They will be on display on our tables during checkout-only weeks; if scholars choose them, they go back into circulation. If not, then we will move them on to be used at other schools. We are expecting our first shipment of new books soon--we need to make room for them!
Read-alouds this week:
PreK will be looking for two dimensional shapes (circles, squares, triangles, stars, rectangles, ovals) in Shelley Rotner's book.
Kindergarteners are listening to another Armadillo Readers' Choice, Hamsters Make Terrible Roommates! by Cheryl B. Klein. We're pointing out animal needs, as well as communication skills that let others know what we need.
Our Fall Scholastic Book Fair has been moved to line up with our PTA Fall Carnival! We will be open for shopping from November 1st through 4th. More info to come, including volunteer opportunities.
See you in the stacks, 'Dillo Readers!
