From the Library

Third Graders have just finished a Scavenger Hunt in the library. They "became books", were assigned spine tags with their Dewey decimal information and found themselves on the shelves. Then, in teams of two, they selected one found book and researched it for specific information. This was a good way to review table of contents, index, copyright date, translator, illustrator, and even a supplemental bibliography. Where do you look to find information on sundials? How many poems are in each section of the book? To whom is this book dedicated? Girls sleuthed their way through the research together, taking notes and then writing beautiful paragraphs with complete sentences. Ask you daughter how to find out when a book was published.
