Before checkout this week, second graders had to sort a pile of books on their tables (our theme for the year is arranging information). Nearly every group came up with a different set of categories, which made my day ... they were using their brains and teamwork! Category examples included:
- Cover materials: Hardcover and paperback
- Size: Big and small
- Text: Author's first initial
- Topics: Animals and people
- Genre: Fiction and nonfiction
- Call number: E and BD (which was the big takeaway from the activity)
Here are the kids from Room 4 with their books:
