Afternoon All!
Students in our Ashley Library have been working hard on reviewing and learning Parts of a Book and how those parts effect us as readers! The last few weeks have been a journey - Whew! We have traveled from exploring the physical parts of the book with Kinder to finding books independently on the shelves using the Call Numbers with Second.

Creating our own book allowed students to not only review the parts of a book they were already familiar with, but also see the process of creating those parts in action. During the creation process, students were introduced to new parts and were immediately able to put their own creative spin on how those should look in a book. My favorite was seeing Ashley students think through their own past reading experiences and ask to learn about parts of books we weren't planning on touching that day - what enthusiastic kiddos I get to hang out with each day!
Second Grade has really been working hard to prepare for Call Numbers and searching independently for specific books. On a normal basis, students browse for interesting titles or ask for help/direction when looking for a particular book or author. After a while, most have the library memorized for favorites! The last few weeks, however, Second Grade has been learning the purpose and structure of Spine Labels and Call Numbers. Last week, they searched the shelves independently for a specific Call Number and did great!
