Now that we are used to the space and routines in the library and have a few book checkouts under our belt, it is time to delve into our second topic - Locating Information. Grades 7-8 We've been working on usernames and passwords for Schoology and it appears as though most students have it down. We started this unit with an introduction to using Destiny Quest, our library catalog used to find books. Next, we learned about the organization of our non-fiction section using Dewey. We learned there are 10 categories and we even had a scavenger hunt to test our skills. This past week, we learned about radio plays and students listened to a creepy/mystery podcast (The Hitchhiker) and then had a 14 question online quiz where they had to score at least 80%. They successfully accessed all of this from Schoology. Next week we will explore Web Browsers and Search Engines as we prepare for our upcoming Research unit. Grades 2-6 We started this unit with an introduction to using Destiny Quest, our library catalog used to find books. Next, we learned about the organization of our non-fiction section using Dewey. We learned there are 10 categories and we even had a scavenger hunt to test our skills. This past week, we learned about Web Browsers and Search Engines as we prepare for our upcoming Research unit. Grades K-1 Students were able to explore books in our library that have the prestigious Caldecott medal. They switched titles every 30 seconds. We learned who Randolph Caldecott was, what kinds of books can earn this medal, what it means to be an honor book and how to identify an award winner and honor book. Then we took a vote to select an award and honor book to read out loud.
