Loved the Un-Deweying the Library workshop. Took lots of
notes and marveled at the circulation data. I too see a lot of untapped
potential in the PHES library. There’s only so much time for book talks
and only so much space (mine is a 2x5 book case top and a hallway showcase) to
entice readers to pick up what you deem to be an enriching piece of
literature. Since I won’t have access to my library this summer
(electrical work and a 3 week practicum) and in the fall I will be knee deep in
portfolio, I loved…loved….loved that I can do this one genre at a time.
First step, to get my 3-5th graders started with their thoughts on organization
and naming/labeling the various topics/genres. I’m even adding some graph
paper to my maker space to encourage students to change the layout of the
library floor.
I’m in awe and I’m inspired!
Don't you just LOVE this? Way to go Anne Marie! I think it is great how she is giving her students some ownership of the library by allowing them to have some input in how the space is arranged. What a great real life connection and application of their skills! Way to work smarter.
