Introduce a few good books from the 400 sections. What other types of books would kids like to see? Do they seem interested in language books? Let me know! |

Day 4--500's !!
What kind of things are in the 500's? Check out Dewey Browse!
The 500's cover a lot of material and are often popular.
Link to the game Dewey UP
For the pieces of paper I would substitute the cards from one of the shelf order games.
Before students play remind them that just part of going to the library is learning the Dewey number. Few people have Dewey memorized. The biggest skill is using the # from the catalog and then finding where that number would go on the shelf.
