Grade 1 has been practicing putting spine labels in alphabetical order. This is how fiction books are organized in the library!
Students have learned that:
Working in teams, students were active thinkers and good communicators.
Students are encouraged to be autonomous in the library. All PYP students, grade 2 to 5, have been taught to use a ruler to keep a book’s “address” when browsing. This allows students to be autonomous and to be aware of spine label and call numbers (this is the actual book’s address) and how these items are important in organizing a library.
As students browse titles on book spines and they find a book interest, they insert the ruler where the book is located, remove the book to look at it and return the book where the ruler is inserted. This way, the books stay in order and all books on similar subjects stay together!
Recap:
1- Insert ruler
2- Look at the book
3- If the book is of no interest, return book to its location on the shelf where the ruler was put in place
4- Remove ruler
If you like the book you were browsing, simply remove the ruler and head to the counter to check out your book!
Bookmark Competition – Grades 1 to 5 only (PYP)
With the help of their Homeroom Teachers, bookmark will be done inside the classroom with the specific template provided by the library.
As part of their homework, students from all levels were asked to submit their creative photos while reading their favorite books – the goal of this project is to promote the importance of reading and how it can help them to become life-long learners.
Here are some selected photos submitted by students:
What an impressive entries indeed – well done SEK students!
A library orientation was conducted for staff to get familiarized in the daily library operation. It was indeed a good opportunity to inform them how the library could help them in providing learning resources and supporting their classroom instruction.
