Happy New Year to everyone! I hope the start of the new year was a good one for you! I also hope you were able to set aside a few minutes to enjoy some reading. Did you get a book for a Christmas present?
This week I will be in the WH school district on Tuesday and Thursday. On Tuesday, I will meet with 3-Bruns and we will review the Dewey Decimal System; while 4-Kahlsdorf with discuss the differences between primary and secondary resources. On Thursdays, the first graders will listen to the book Under the Snow written by Melissa Stewart and illustrated by Constance R. Bergum; while 4-Hildman will discuss primary and secondary resources.
DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION: An American named Melvil Dewey devised the Dewy Decimal System in the late 1800s. This numerical system organizes the nonfiction books and other media in the library into 10 categories of knowledge. Each item has a specific set of numbers assigned to it.
PRIMARY RESOURCE: Firsthand accounts communicated by someone concerning his or her experiences or observations. For example, birth certificates, diaries, government documents, interviews, eyewitness accounts, last will and testaments, legal contracts, letters, photographs, Constitution of the United States, and time capsules.
SECONDARY RESOURCE: Materials written after the fact. Such as, editorials, encyclopedias (print and electronic), historical novels, movies (e.g. Apollo 13), newspaper articles, television documents, textbooks, U.S. history books, web site information, and weekly news magazines.
Until next week -
Mrs. Theresa Reiter
K-12 Teacher Librarian
