I mean your favorite Dewey Decimal number, of course. Is it 398.2 for folktales or are you more of a 796 (sports) fan? The past couple of weeks, the students in kindergarten through fifth grade have become more familiar with the organization of our library by learning about the Dewey Decimal classification system. I do not require the students to memorize all of the categories (or neighborhoods), but I do want them to get a sense of where some of their favorite subjects are located. Kids who are fascinated by different vehicles should know that they can find what they are looking for in the 600s (Applied Science and Technology) while those who enjoy poetry need to know where the 800s (Literature) are located. We have been busy this week creating posters for each category to help us know where to look when we want a book on a particular subject (see the gallery below of third and fourth graders at work). I hope you had fun searching for the items on the Dewey See It bookmark!
