When you think of nonfiction do the words FACT, TRUE and REAL come to mind? Most books classified as nonfiction are, but there are also joke books, fairy tales, poetry and unexplained books on the nonfictions shelves. All nonfiction books have a number in the call code. Our library uses the Dewey decimal number plus the first three letters of the author's last name for all nonfiction titles. For example: 811 SIL is a poetry book by Shel Silverstein.
When you think of fiction do the words STORY, MADE-UP and IMAGINATION come to mind? Fiction books under 50 pages are usually labeled as Everybody fiction and have an E in the call code. If a fiction book is over 50 pages it is usually labeled as FIC. Fiction book include the first three letters of an author's last name in the call code to help organize and shelve the library collection. For example: E HEN is an everybody book written by Kevin Henkes. While FIC HEN is a fiction book written by Kevin Henkes.
You'll need to use Destiny Discover to find out what call number / or call code each book. You'll be able to find the call code on Destiny Discover by typing in all or part of the author's name or book title.

Hi, 4th Grade Researchers!
For library time, let's practice our research skills and BINGO skills at the same time. Please use the PebbleGo Board page (available here and on Schoology) to get five answers in a row- up/down, side-to-side, or diagonally. Then, share your answers with me before class is done today by following these steps:

Please use the PebbleGo Board page (available here and on Schoology) to get five answers in a row- up/down, side-to-side, or diagonally. Then, share your answers with me before class is done today by following these steps:
- Open up PebbleGo (3 options are availabe to open the site listed).
- Pick 5 BINGO squares to find answers for.
- For each answer you find, take a screenshot of the PebbleGo article with the answer to share with me on Schoology.
- Reminder- one answer can be the FREE space.
- Please only use PebbleGo (link below) instead of Kiddle or another search engine like Google or even Siri: ).
- **Also you only need to use one or two keywords for your search from each Bingo square and not the whole question. For example, typing in "x-ray" will work to find the answer to "What does an x-ray do?". If you type in the whole question and not just a keyword (ie. x-ray) you may not get the correct page.
