How do you find books in the nonfiction section of our library?
A. Using DESTINY
B. Using the pictures in the library
Hmmm....so if the students are using the "pictures" in the library to help them find books, on one hand I am happy (Way to use the resources around you!) and on the other hand I wonder if those very same signs have influenced the creation of their nonfiction categories.
So today was an experiment of sorts. Today, I removed all those signs BEFORE sending them off to create their category lists.
Did they need them? No. Did they miss them? Yes, at first. I saw them looking and even had a student or two asking about them and heard some chatter but once they got into the groove, their natural discussion kept the categories flowing.
Students used the shelves (and even the nonfiction return cart) to get inspiration and ideas for nonfiction categories. Lots of great thinking!
