Week 5 Grades 1 and 2 Book: The Library Gingerbread man Objectives: Students will listen to story and discuss how books are arranged in the library. First and second graders should know that there are books in the library that contain true information and that they "live" in a different place than books that are made up stories.

Procedures: 1. Read story. Have students participate in telling the story by chanting the repetitive portions. 2. Explain that there are books that tell facts and details about topics. Point out where those books live as you take your library walk. Explain that there are books that have characters and stories that the author has made up. Show students where those are.

Grades 3rd - 5th Objectives: Students will review the difference between fiction and nonfiction books. Procedures: 1. Review Fiction (characters and stories have been created based on someone's experiences or imagination and are not real) 2. Review Nonfiction (content is based on real information, facts, details and people) 3. Show students the following link and share important information about the Dewey Decimal System:

@http://library.thinkquest.org/5002/ Students You should already know the Dewey Decimal Classification System from previous years in the Library. Use this site to review "Dewey." Complete the following modules: Meet Melville, Pre-Dew Review, Dewey and the Alien, Let's Dew It!, and Ultimate Challenge. 4. Explain that it is important for books to be returned to their home and not just stuck on a shelf in a random place. Use the analogy that you are going to be their bus driver this afternoon at dismissal. It will not be necessary for them to tell you their address because you are just going to stop at the end of a driveway and they will get off the bus at their new home. Ask students if that is acceptable with them. Ask if they will miss their belongings? Friends? Families? Explain that is what happens when they put books in other places in the library and that it is difficult for the next reader to find what he is looking for. 5. Have students practice as a whole group shelving books (if time permits) using the following link:
 * “Do We” Really Know Dewey? **
