Fourth and Fifth Grade
Fourth and fifth graders are learning how to locate books in the catalog then use the call numbers to locate the books on the shelves. Dewey Decimal System by numbers and Fiction by author last name. Dewey Decimal System, the library’s secret code that everyone can learn. Just ask Scooter Hayes of Wilmington, North Carolina. While working on an assignment for his Masters in Library Science he wrote a rap video explaining the Dewey Decimal System. Check it out: https://www.teachertube.com/videos/dewey-rap-204545

First Grade
The first graders learned about the planets in class this week. On Thursday they put that knowledge and a LOT of air to work blowing up and arranging an inflatable solar system. Saturn even has a ring. The solar system will be hung on the south end of the library for all to see. Thanks to Julie Rasmussen for the loan of the solar system.
