We dive deeper into how the library is organized by really taking a close look at the differences between fiction and nonfiction books.  Moving on from there we build solid independent practice navigating the fiction shelves to "Find that author!" (The secret is ABC order!).

We also begin to dabble in understanding the good ol' Dewey Decimal System (Yes, we still use it here in the library world!).  

With a better understanding of how to locate nonfiction books, we are ready to tackle some research!  First graders practice using the SUPER 3 research strategy: Plan, Do, Review!  Learning how to ask questions and where to look for answers is a big part of our first grade research process.
